[JENKINS-42545] I would like to be able to relax Jenkins update notifications #3908

Open timja opened 7 years ago

Hi,

The administrative monitoring bits of Jenkins 2.x are awesome.  

An improvement would be if I were able to configure the Jenkins update notifier to be a little more selective about which updates it nags me about.  For instance, the updates in 2.4.8 addressing probable security flaws in Apache Commons are important, while as a sysadmin in the USA, I couldn't care less about Slovenian translations or non-existent dates in a date picker, in 2.4.9.

I suppose all important security warnings will be pushed via Administrative monitors now. So they will be highlighted much more than Slovenian localization notifications.

gswallow Since 2.40 and 2.32.2, Jenkins will inform you about security vulnerabilities we publish at https://jenkins.io/security/advisories/ (announcement blog post: https://jenkins.io/blog/2017/01/10/security-warnings/ )

Additionally, since 2.24, there's a UI for selectively disabling administrative monitors (any sort of notification shown to admins in that red box on most pages).

So while there's no way to configure which updates are shown (it's all or nothing), you could just disable regular update notifications and rely on the security warnings.

By the way, …

non-existent dates in a date picker

Until you wonder why the master CPU is spinning and find out it's because Jenkins is trying to find the previous or next occurrence of June 31st because your users thought that date exists and used the cron expression H H 31 6 *.

We can probably agree on Won't Fix here?
