Description

The Support core plugins automatically creates a bundle when the instance starts and after every hour.

These bundles are directly stored under JENKINS_HOME/support but the user have to access to the Jenkins server FS to manage them.

We would like to add the following features :



  • List bundles stored on the instance (name + creation date + size)

  • Allow to download each bundle

  • Allow to delete each bundle or all bundles

  • Allow to browse the content of each bundle

Start by examining the Support core plugin's existing bundle generation and the bundles stored under JENKINS_HOME/support. Done means administrators can list bundles with name, creation date, and size; download, delete one or all; and browse each bundle's contents.
