  The authentication used to key the association between the Jenkins instance and the CloudBees DevOptics service is stored (encrypted) in the file:

   $JENKINS_HOME/devoptics/platform.xml

  The Run Insights functionality stores a cache of the formulae used to calculate the base metrics in

  $JENKINS_HOME/devoptics/pulse-schedule.xml

  In the event that the Jenkins master is unable to connect to the CloudBees DevOptics service, a number of caches of data are created and will get forwarded on to CloudBees once the issue has been resolved. 

  In the case of Run Insights, these will be the

  $JENKINS_HOME/devoptics/_____.json

  files (where ____ is the name of the specific collection schedule that the metrics are for). 

  In the case of Value Streams, these will be the

  $JENKINS_HOME/logs/devoptics-retry/_____.json

  files.

  Finally, the periodic tasks performed by the DevOptics plugin send their logs to

  $JENKINS_HOME/logs/tasks/cloudbees-___.log 

  (or on earlier versions of Jenkins these will be in $JENKINS_HOME/logs/cloudbees-___.log)

  These log files are automatically and periodically rolled over and a fixed number will be retained.
