Subject: Discard Old builds/Artifacts 



There is a Discard old builds option in Jenkins jobs with a few different 
options. 

  

Which model does Jenkins use for artifact expiration, Number first or Date 
first? Can both the number of days and number of build artifacts be specified 
and let Jenkins figure out which one happens first? 

  

For example, if I set “Days to keep artifacts” to 15 and “Max # of builds to 
keep with artifacts” to 32, which one takes precedence?  

  

If, in that 15 day period, I have more than 32 builds with artifacts, does it 
remove the older artifacts to stay at 32, or does it keep them for 15 days? 

  

We are trying to set a standard for all of our builds to have the same number, 
however, it is hard to set a solution for projects that do not build as often.  
So, we want to keep up to 32 artifacts, and delete artifacts older than 15 
days, but not for those that do not build as often…may be no way to have all 
the jobs set the same in this case? 

  

Thoughts?
