Summary
Since Bamboo 5.12, the way artifacts are stored on-disk has changed to a format which no longer displays an obvious relationship to the plan name from which the artifacts were generated. The new format: <bamboo-home>/artifacts/plan-123456.
This can be problematic when trying to analyze which builds are using the most disk space. For example, we've run the below command on a Linux host to find out which directories in the artifact folder are using the most disk space but from the output, we don't know what plan the artifact storage belongs to:
$ du -h /var/bamboo-home/artifacts/ --max-depth 1 | sort -rh
126M /var/bamboo-home/artifacts/plan-18022401
136K /var/bamboo-home/artifacts/plan-20414467
4.0K /var/bamboo-home/artifacts/tmpSolution
The Bamboo database can be easily queried to retrieve a list of plan key to storage tag mappings:
SELECT FULL_KEY,STORAGE_TAG FROM BUILD WHERE BUILD_TYPE IN ('CHAIN','CHAIN_BRANCH');Example result:
full_key | storage_tag |
|---|---|
SAMPLE-PLAN | plan-18022401 |
PROJ-PLAN | plan-20414467 |
We can also perform a reverse look-up using the REST API when you are looking to find what the storage tag is for a certain plan key:
