Issue
We are planning to move config-history directory and its contents from JENKINS_HOME to a new locaion. How do I configure the change in config-history after moving the directory and data to a different directory?
Resolution
To modify use the jenkins global configuration page JENKINS_URL/configure, Job Config History section.
Job config history global configuration lets you define path to the history directory. If this path is absolute (/some-path
orX:\some-path
) then the plugin do append config-history
. If this path is relative it will be computed from JENKINS_HOME and also append config-history
.
So as a resume you can’t prevent the plugin to use config-history
as last level for history root directory, but can move it to another place. As a workaround you can just rely on symlinks.
