Navigating My First Jenkins Security Advisory: A Maintainer’s Journey As a maintainer of the job-config-history plugin, I have always appreciated the community and the robustness of the Jenkins ecosystem. However, recently I had the opportunity to experience a different, and perhaps more critical, side of open-source maintenance: the Jenkins security process. Back on April 13, 2026, I received a notification in Jira regarding a potential security issue in my plugin. What followed was a journey that taught me quite a bit about the Jenkins core security architecture I wasn’t familiar with. The Learning Journey 1. Initial Contact and Confidentiality When I first received the issue, the instructions...

Welcome back to the Plugin of the Month series, where we highlight useful and impactful tools from the Jenkins ecosystem. Last month, we explored the Build Discarder Plugin, focusing on how a smart global policy can automatically clean up old builds and prevent hard disk waste. How do you locate the specific jobs or folders that are silently hoarding gigabytes without SSHing into the controller and running heavy du -sh commands that drag down performance? This July, we are highlighting the CloudBees Disk Usage Simple Plugin the perfect tool to help you identify storage bottlenecks efficiently and trigger manual cleanups. What is the Disk...

Hi everyone 👋, I’m Daniele, the Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor currently working on the AI ​​Chatbot to Guide User Workflow plugin. The coding phase began over a month ago, and I have a lot to tell you about the progress made. During this first half of the GSoC, I’ve been focusing on Data Storage, Hybrid Retrieval, the Frontend UI and the Jenkins Controller Proxy. Data Storage My first step was to implement different data retrieval systems, which get information from four different sources: Jenkins Docs, Plugin Docs, Reddit, and Discourse. I’ve collected all the documentation for Jenkins and its plugins, which will be useful...

Hello everyone! I’m Mallikarjun G D, and this is my midterm update for my GSoC 2026 project, Continue AI-Powered Chatbot for Quick Access to Jenkins Resources. In my community bonding blog, I outlined three main areas for the coding period: an LLM-as-Judge evaluation pipeline, GraphRAG-based retrieval, and a Build Failure Diagnosis Agent. At the midterm point, the first major piece is now in place: the LLM-as-Judge CI pipeline. The first half of GSoC mainly focused on the evaluation side of the chatbot. This is not the most visible part of the project from a user’s point of view, but it is the base that makes future...
