hello, may I ask how you find the schema for this slave configuration? I would like to use options other than provided above.
thanks a lot.

OK, i finally find the config under /jenkins_home/nodes/.../config.xml

hey @sergeyhush , this was crazy useful, thanks. i think the dollar sign in RetentionStrategy$Always needs to be escaped with one backslash in order for it to get through correctly. a comment showing usage of get-node in here might also be hot, since i learned about that elsewhere and it was useful to get multiple nodes looking the same.

java -jar ~/bin/jenkins-cli.jar -s $1 get-node $2

you are the man!

Thanks man.
I got a 'java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: JENKINS_URL' exception when I tried to create a new node with your script.
Is it because of wrong URL ? I tried different url but none success

Thanks, very helpful script.

why I run java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s https://test.myaddress.com/ help which don't anything output? thanks!

SSL/TLS issues probably

Hi,

how do I obtain the Cred_ID ?
