Description

« Hide

Artifacts seem to disappear on a random pattern, some are deleted, some are left forever.
'Build Cleanup Strategy' is set to 'Do not clean up builds automatically'
'Artifact Cleanup Strategy' is set 'Do not clean up artifacts automatically'
However, looking at the daily builds, for some builds the artifacts are gone after some days.
Is there a way to find out what is deleting these artifacts?

Any log?

You may search in server log for below message:
Removing artifacts of build

But I guess there is not any, as you mentioned that "artifact cleanup strategy" is set to "do not clean up artifacts automatically". Do you have any maintenance configuration schedule to delete artifacts via scripts? Another possibility is that some of your build scripts might be deleting those artifacts unintentionally.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. Meanwhile I found one configuration that is supposed to delete after 14 days. Unfortunately I've got only the last 5 hours in the server log because of all the warning messages. In these 5 hours, there was no such message. I do not have any maintenance schedule. What is the trigger to run this clean-up? As I had the problem above, there must be one mustn't it?

By default QB executes maintenance at 1:00 every night, and it can be changed via "maintenance schedule" in system setting.
