Error when starting Jenkins service

We have noticed following error in our Jenkins service log when service is started:

Computer.threadPoolForRemoting [#2] ERROR appender RollingRandomAccessFile has no parameter that matches element SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy

Error appears before the actual Jenkins service startup so it’s not causing any issues. Jenkins works just fine. But it would be nice to know / understand what is causing that error?

I see a reference to SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy in the test data of the Eclipse Jetty project. I don’t see any reference to SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy in any Jenkins source code on my system.

Thanks. It seems that the issue was with old Audit Log plugin we still had installed:

sudo grep -rnw ‘/var/lib/jenkins’ -e ‘SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy’
grep: /var/lib/jenkins/plugins/audit-log/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.16.0.jar: binary file matches

Removed the plugin → Error is gone :slight_smile:
