After doing some playing with the Jenkins Script Console, I think the best approach is to use Groovy scripting.
The Jenkins FreeStyleBuild class has a getLog() method that returns a string of the log. This is the first time that I have used the Script Console, and it seems to be a nice tool. I'd like to expose the information as a nice web page in Jenkins, but assume that is not really feasible. So, right now, I am thinking to just have a the users run a groovy script with text output.

A couple of times a year, our build team will create a Build Flow job from a template to perform the "massive" build which can last for several days. The build team will execute the Build Flow job until all sub-jobs have been successfully built. The build team can choose to build 50% of the jobs on a given day and then build the other 50% the next day (or however they decide to break it up)... That leads to my question.... I'd like to be able to inform the builders which sub-jobs have been completed within the context of the massive Build Flow job. Currently, that information is written to the Console Log as shown below: ###################### ### RESULTS ### ###################### SUCCESS : JOB1 JOB2 JOB3 SKIPPED : NAF_WPF_NET ABORTED : FAILURE : GERMAINE UNSTABLE : NOT BUILT: MIDTIER ESL XRDS1 RULES NAF_NET ########################## ### END RESULTS ### ########################## Currently, the build team must scan all the console logs in order to determine what has/has not been built, and to figure out what they still need to build. This is difficult for them since there are about 50 different projects that must be built. I am trying to find a solution that would allow them to determine what still needs to be built. Here are a couple of ideas: 1) In the "Build History", change the job names to include all of the sub-jobs that were successfully built for that job run (e.g. change "#21" to "#21 JOB1 JOB2 JOB3"). But, I don't think there is a way to do that for Build Flow jobs. Does anyone know if this is possible? 2) Write a shell script that reads the console log files. However, this is a poor solution since it does not integrate with Jenkins (i.e. run some script outside of Jenkins). 3) Other??? Q. Can anyone think of a good way to report all of the sub-jobs that have successfully completed within the context of multiple Build Flow job runs? Thank you for taking the time to read this.
