如何获取Jenkins特定插件的安装用户及已装插件的安装用户列表？

Hey there! Let's break down how to track which users installed Jenkins plugins—both getting a full list with installers, and looking up info for a specific plugin.

First, a quick heads-up: Jenkins doesn't natively store plugin installation user details in a persistent database by default. Most of this info lives in system logs, unless you set up an audit plugin to track it long-term. Let's cover both scenarios.

1. Get a list of all installed plugins + their installing users #

Option 1: Check Jenkins System Logs (no extra plugins needed) #

This is the quickest way if your logs haven't been rotated or cleaned up yet:

• Log into Jenkins, go to Manage Jenkins → System Log
• Use the search bar to look for the phrase installed plugin
• You'll see log entries that look like this:

  2024-05-20 14:32:15.123+0000 [id=123] INFO hudson.PluginManager#install: User admin installed plugin 'git' version '5.2.0'
  Each entry tells you the username, plugin name, and version. You can manually compile these into a list, or export the log and parse it with a script if you have a lot of plugins.

Option 2: Use the Audit Trail Plugin for long-term tracking #

If you need to keep this info permanently (and avoid losing it when logs rotate), install the Audit Trail plugin:

• Go to Manage Jenkins → Plugins → Available Plugins, search for "Audit Trail" and install it
• After installation, head to Manage Jenkins → Configure System and find the Audit Trail section
• Set a log file path (e.g., /var/log/jenkins/audit.log) and customize the log format to include the username (%u) and action details (%m)
• Save the config—from now on, every plugin install (and other admin actions) will be logged to this file. You can later parse it to get a full list of plugins and their installers.

2. Look up the user who installed a specific plugin #

Option 1: Targeted Log Search #

• Using default system logs: In the System Log search bar, combine the plugin name with installed plugin (e.g., installed plugin sonar) to filter directly to that plugin's install record.
• Using Audit Trail log file: If you're using the Audit Trail plugin, ssh into your Jenkins server and run a grep command like this (replace the path and plugin name with your own):

  grep "installed plugin sonar" /var/log/jenkins/audit.log
  

  This will spit out all entries related to that plugin's installation, including the user who did it.

Option 2: Groovy Script via Jenkins Script Console (Audit Trail required) #

If you want a more programmatic way, use the Jenkins Script Console with the Audit Trail plugin installed:

• Go to Manage Jenkins → Script Console
• Paste this Groovy script, replacing PLUGIN_NAME with the exact name of the plugin you're checking:

  import jenkins.model.Jenkins
  import org.jenkinsci.plugins.audit_trail.AuditTrailPlugin
  
  def targetPlugin = "PLUGIN_NAME"
  def auditRecords = AuditTrailPlugin.instance.getLogRecords()
  
  auditRecords.each { record ->
      if (record.getMessage().contains("installed plugin ${targetPlugin}")) {
          println "User: ${record.userName}, Timestamp: ${new Date(record.timestamp)}, Details: ${record.message}"
      }
  }
  

• Click "Run"—the output will show you the user, timestamp, and full message for the plugin's installation.

A quick note: If plugins were installed via automated tools (like jenkins-plugin-cli or CI/CD scripts), the log might show anonymous or the system user running the script instead of a human user.
