Same problem here when upgrading from 1.480 to 1.483

This is happening to us too, but randomly. A restart of Jenkins restores the history but after a few days, it disappears again. This started happening after upgrading to 1.485.

@josh kehoe I suspect that your problen is different to the earlier reported problem. Yours sounds more like JENKINS-15465 and that is fixed in 1.486

For those who are seeing problems in 1.483 can you check the jenkins.log file to see if any errors are reported there. It is likely that something changed in either Jenkins core or a plugin that stopped older builds from being read from disk. The log contents should help diagnose that.

Thank you, I'll give that a try. For some reason though, my instance of Jenkins thinks it's on the latest release and is not seeing 1.486 as being available yet. I'll have to update manually.

There have been several fall out issues that stem from JENKINS-8754 (see the issues linked from that), and some critical fixes such as JENKINS-15587 is just getting into 1.507.

This ticket is clearly related to this, but it just doesn't have enough details for us to act on.

Because many of those issues have been fixed since this issue has been reported, I'm marking this closed as INCOMPLETE.

If you continue to see problems post 1.507, please open separate tickets and include the stack trace from the server console output, as well as your OS and whether the symlink support is enabled.
