Jenkins Log Downloader

Sometimes you want to analyze all of the logs in your Jenkins server with your favorite Linux CLI text seraching tools. Here is a CLI for downloading Jenkins logs for all builds in a server into a directory for easy analysis.

Running the downloader

To run the downlaoder, just tell it how to access your Jenkins server and where to put the logs:

 $ download-jenkins-logs -u $JENKINS_USERNAME -p $JENKINS_PASSWORD -U $JENKINS_URL -t jenkins-logs 

Alternatively, the Jenkins connection information can be pulled from environment variables:

  $ export JENKINS_USERNAME=<your-username>
  $ export JENKINS_PASSWORD=<your-password>
  $ export JENKINS_URL=https://<your-jenkins-server>.com
  $ download-jenkins-logs

When the -t option is missing, it will default the jenkins-logs directory.

How to install

Assuming you have node installed, you can install this tool with:

$ npm install -g download-jenkins-logs
