💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 0 will keep no builds, which might delete all artifacts.

The numToKeepStr parameter sets how many builds Jenkins keeps. Here, 5 means only the last 5 builds are kept.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 0, which deletes artifacts immediately.

The artifactDaysToKeepStr parameter sets how many days Jenkins keeps build artifacts. 14 means artifacts older than 14 days are deleted.

Fix the error in the retention policy syntax.

Jenkins

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using words like 'ten' instead of '10'.

Using negative numbers.

The numToKeepStr must be a string representing a positive integer. '10' is correct; 'ten' is invalid.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to keep 7 builds and artifacts for 30 days.

Jenkins

properties([buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '[1]', artifactDaysToKeepStr: '[2]'))])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the two parameters.

Using 0 which disables retention.

numToKeepStr is set to 7 to keep 7 builds, and artifactDaysToKeepStr is set to 30 to keep artifacts for 30 days.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to keep 10 builds, artifacts for 7 days, and no artifact days limit.

Jenkins

properties([buildDiscarder(logRotator(numToKeepStr: '[1]', daysToKeepStr: '[2]', artifactDaysToKeepStr: '[3]'))])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing artifactDaysToKeepStr with daysToKeepStr.

Using non-numeric values.

Set numToKeepStr to 10 builds, daysToKeepStr to 7 days, and artifactDaysToKeepStr to 0 to disable artifact days limit.
