This is in reference to the 2020.4.8 version of the Checkmarx CxSAST Plugin (https://plugins.jenkins.io/checkmarx)
Our project workspace contains node_modules directories with a large number of files. After upgrading from an old Checkmark Plugin version, our build logs are suddenly full of tens of thousands of [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: ... messages, for example:
[...] 08:53:17 [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: src/main/webapp/angularjs/node_modules/npm-install-checks/node_modules/semver/functions/parse.js 08:53:17 [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: src/main/webapp/angularjs/node_modules/npm-install-checks/node_modules/semver/functions/patch.js 08:53:17 [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: src/main/webapp/angularjs/node_modules/npm-install-checks/node_modules/semver/functions/prerelease.js 08:53:17 [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: src/main/webapp/angularjs/node_modules/npm-install-checks/node_modules/semver/functions/rcompare.js 08:53:17 [Cx-Debug]: Excluded File: src/main/webapp/angularjs/node_modules/npm-install-checks/node_modules/semver/functions/rsort.js [...]
This results in ~13 MiB log files:
[build@edidbuslvt04 761]$ ls -lh log -rw-r----- 1 build build 13M Feb 1 08:54 log
Of which, the vast majority of the content are these "Cx-Debug" log messages:
[build@edidbuslvt04 761]$ cat log | wc -l 94842 [build@edidbuslvt04 761]$ cat log | grep "Cx-Debug" | wc -l 88390 [build@edidbuslvt04 761]$ cat log | grep -v "Cx-Debug" | wc -l 6452
This makes navigating the log from the Jenkins UI very slow and difficult.
Is there a way to disable this debug output? If not, can there be?
I’ve examined the plugin’s code on GitHub and I see where it’s being logged but it looks as if isDebugEnabled is hard-coded to true: https://github.com/jenkinsci/checkmarx-plugin/blob/Release_2020.4.8/src/main/java/com/checkmarx/jenkins/CxLoggerAdapter.java#L31
