How-To Enable Debug Logging for the Jira Integration for Jenkins plugin in Jenkins

When working with Marvelution Support to resolve an issue you are facing, you may get the request to provide debug logging information of the Jenkins plugin in action. This article will help you in temporarily configuring debug logging for that purpose.

Enable Debug Logging

  1. Click on Manage Jenkins in the left main menu of Jenkins
  2. Scroll down and click on System Log to view the current logging configuration.
  3. Clock on Add new log recorder, specify a name for the log recorder and click on OK.
    (info) Use a meaningful name to make it easy to distinguish different log recorders you may have.
  4. On the Log Recorder page configure a logger for org.marvelution.jji, and set Logging Level to ALL
  5. Support may ask you to add other loggers as well, is so add these and then click Save.


Be sure to disable debug logging when you where able to provide the logging information needed by support as this level will increase logging and thus impact the overall performance of Jenkins.

  1. Click on Manage Jenkins in the left main menu of Jenkins
  2. Scroll down and click on System Log to view the current logging configuration.
  3. Click on the 'gear' on the right of the Log Recorder you created when enabling debug logging.
  4. Set the logging level to INFO for all loggers in the log recorder, or alternatively you can delete these as well.
