I use the Build timeout plugin to alert when jobs are stuck. I have one job that triggers this alert because it contains a step with a long execution time. I would like to disable the build timeout plugin but only for that job, is there a way to do so? I'm using Jenkins v2.22.
We don't use the built-in option for the job not to terminate on timeout, we use sensu plugins to monitor the state of the likelyStuck variable.
Sadly I just switched jobs and I don't have access to a Jenkins instance (least not yet) so I cannot try it out for you.
That said some ideas quickly jump in my mind that could get you there.
I've had some success with the conditional build step plugin though I don't know if it would work for build timeouts.
If not directly perhaps as a means to change some values through the rest API ? Maybe using job parameters ? You could also split the job in two and call the appropriate one (with or without timeout) using a conditional build step (mentioned above)...
If you are int a pipeline you could use the timeout in a jenkins file. https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/workflow-basic-steps/#code-timeout-code-enforce-time-limit.
let me know if any of this is helping you.
