• Support storing Jenkins pipeline build logs in an observability backend (tech preview) (@cyrille-leclerc and @kuisathaverat )
  • Store pipeline logs in Elastic and visualize them both in Kibana and through the Jenkins build console. Known limitation: Blue Ocean is not yet supported.
• Instrument with tracing the HTTP requests on Jenkins servers (@cyrille-leclerc )

• Support storing pipeline logs in an Observability Backend sending pipeline logs through OTLP
  • Partial support for visualizing pipeline logs stored in Elasticsearch through both Elastic Kibana and through Jenkins pipeline build console
• Traces on Jenkins HTTP requests
