| Jenkins Troubleshooting |
Jenkins is one of the important CI tools which many organization used as part of their Build and DevOps infrastructure. I am going to consolidate all the troubleshooting techniques which can be used in order to find any issues related in Jenkins.
Step 1. Take a look at Log generated by the Jenkins and plugins via http://jenkins-master/log
Note: Here you can also create your own logger and and set your custom log levels such as (severe, warning, info, config, file, finer, finest, all)
Step 2. Also, you can look at /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log via doing "tail -f /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log" and check carefully whats breaking it.

This post is useful because Jenkins troubleshooting becomes much easier when you recognize the common patterns behind “random” failures: agent connectivity/labels, credential and permission issues, plugin incompatibilities, workspace corruption, dependency drift, and simple resource constraints like disk or memory pressure. A solid approach is to isolate where the failure occurs (checkout, build, test, publish, deploy), then verify controller/agent health, recent plugin updates, tool versions (Java/Maven/Node), and whether a clean workspace resolves it. It’s also a strong reminder that stability comes from standardization—Pipeline-as-Code, pinned versions, containerized build agents, and better logging/metrics—so pipelines are reproducible and issues are easier to debug. With habits like these, teams can keep CI reliable and predictable even as projects and build volume grow.
