Problem

In jenkins, I cannot find the job creator for a specific task.

Tries

I tried looking in the changes log, do not display creation. Looked up in the user profiles and there is no such properties. Been fooling aroung for a while now trying to find it. Also most research on google with keyword "creator" will fetch results about how to create a job or other questions of people who searched things relative to this topic.

The JobConfigHistory Plugin is ought to display a column User. And so does it in my Jenkins (v1.609.1) when I select a job's Job Config History at the bottom of the sidebar menu immediately after creating a job.

(Though I agree: There's no Created there, just Changed. But, changing from non-existence to existence is a change, isn't it? ;-)

  • you're right! The thing is I was looking for the latest change, and it's not the latest one (weird) now I see it, thanks a lot – Cher Jun 11 '15 at 19:50
  • If I don't have the JobConfigHistory plugin, is there anywhere else I can look for this information? (I presume installing the plugin now won't help retroactively.) – dpercy Nov 20 '18 at 22:12
  • @dpercy I'm not aware of any place where this info should be kept. You could check the creation time of the job's `config.xml` and the (http) logs of your OS to see which user/s was/were logged on at that time, to limit the number of candidates, at least. – Gerold Broser Nov 20 '18 at 23:06
