At PlanGrid I spend plenty of time in Jenkins every day. I look at the output of builds and jobs to do my err job. The steps that happen the most are:

  1. Click the job link
  2. … wait for the page to load …
  3. Click on Console Output

Sometimes when I’m patient, I wait for the hover effect (which let’s be honest, is instant) to show so I can pull down the drop down menu and select Console Output like below.

When Patient Paydro is awake he does this.

But recently a coworker told me to click the dot. It redirects directly to the Console Output!
