build log file size checker

Aborts a build if its log file gets too big.

This plugin monitors the size of the output file of a build and aborts the build if the log file gets too big. You can set a default value for the maximum allowed size in the Jenkins configuration as well as specify a maximum file size on the configuration page of each individual job.

Pipeline Support

The log file size checker can be added to a jenkins pipeline with a wrap statement. The 'maxLogSize' attribute is in MB. For example:

wrap([
 $class: 'LogfilesizecheckerWrapper',
   'maxLogSize': 1,
   'failBuild': true,
   'setOwn': true]) {
 echo "do stuff"

}

If the console output exceeds the limit specified in the LogfilesizecheckerWrapper, the build aborts with the following error: 

>>> Max Log Size reached 1(MB). Aborting <<<
