List of all held forever in Jenkins?

Is there an easy way in Jenkins to list all all assemblies marked as keep-forever? And then, ideally, with one click of the mouse, either cancel the assembly, or save it, or delete it right away?

In our process, we mark the assembly as a keep-forever if it is associated with a particular type of failure; so that Jenkins automatically retires over time. I need an easy way to get a list of all these collections forever so that they do not take up all the disk space over time.

The following XPath query from Jenkins will list the URLs of all assemblies marked "Keep Forever":

http://[jenkins_server]/api/xml?depth=2&xpath=/hudson/job/build[keepLog="true"]/url&wrapper=forever

Enter it in the browser and see what it returns.

Now you can embed it in XSLT-based HTML to get a list with links to these assemblies. To remove an assembly, you can provide a button that invokes the Jenkins CLI:

 java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://[jenkins_server]/ delete-builds [job-name] [build-num]

Unfortunately, I do not know how to disable 'keep build forever' with the CLI without removing it.

I was looking for the same thing, and our jenkins are also quite large, and they tried to find the link:

  http://[jenkins_server]/api/xml?depth=2&xpath=/hudson/job/build[keepLog="true"]/url&wrapper=forever

I ended up crashing.

But, as it turned out, I only need the last "save forever" assembly of one work at a time, which seems to work faster. So instead, I use the following:

 http://[jenkisn_server]/job/[job_name]/api/xml/?depth=2&xpath=/freeStyleProject/build[keepLog="true"]/number&wrapper=forever

which returns xml with all build numbers that are marked as “save forever”, you can change the xpath to suit your needs.
