Jenkins Log parser plugin - parsed console log pag

Jenkins version: 1.642.3 or 2.32.3

Jenkins machine Ubuntu 14.04

Log parser plugin: 2.0

Browsing Jenkins from my Mac OS sierra machine.

In Jenkins global configuration, I created a new entry (description and file path (full) where the file contains the following contents).

error /ERROR: Couldn't find any revision to build./
error /SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode./
error /svn: E220003: /
error /npm ERR! fetch failed/
error /ERROR: Found inconsistencies/
error /ERROR: svn up failed for /
error /rsync error: /

warning /WARNING: /
warning /npm WARN retry/
warning /svn: E200033: /
warning /: binary operator expected/
warning /: too many arguments/
warning /: No such file or directory/

info /rsync: failed to set times on/
info /svn: E170001: /

I created a test job and to catch all these cases (as listed above), inside the job's post-build section, I'm enabled "Console output (build log) parsing" by selecting the same log parsing file entry (list box selection). I ran the build and as expected it failed.

Build step 'Console output (build log) parsing' changed build result to FAILURE

On the Job's dashboard, I see this.

Clicking on the Parsed Console Output (left side bar), takes me to a page without giving me any meaningful information.

When I hover over the above side bar link, it shows Jenkins is looking for https://.../../parsed_console URL for the given job build number (as seen in the above image's address bar).

What am I missing here to get the Parsed Console Output page with all Errors, Warnings and Info dashboard, like what this plugin claims to provide here: https://wiki.jenkins.io/download/attachments/43713289/parsed_console_output_3.JPG?version=1&modificationDate=1271216347000&api=v2

PS:

Inside my $JENKINS_HOME (on master), under plugins folder, I see "log-parser.hpi" file (latest file and SHA matches with what I see if I download it on my local Mac machine). During Jenkins restart, I don't see any error logs either related to this plugin.

In Jenkins job's $JENKINS_HOME/jobs//builds/ folder, I see valid log*.html files with valid size (these are read by this plugin to show the info when you click on "Parsed Console Output" side bar link.

Browsing log_ref.html shows valid links.

After further investigation into the GitHub source code (LogParserParser.java file)for this plugin and what I have in my Jenkins job's $JENKINS_HOME/jobs//builds// folder, I found the log.html may be incorrect. Not sure why it's referring to build.log (as href) while there's NO such file on the filesystem. PS: <frame src=.... refers to log_ref and log_content.html files and they both render fine).

<frameset cols="270,*">
<frame src="log_ref.html" scrolling=auto name="sidebar">
<frame src="log_content.html" scrolling=auto name="content">
<noframes>
<p>Viewing the build report requires a Frames-enabled browser</p>
<a href='build.log'>build log</a>
</noframes>
</frameset>

This line shows that variable parsedLogURL is pointing to log.html. https://github.com/jenkinsci/log-parser-plugin/blob/1cc883708524e33792d410a109e6cb69a4c0439b/src/main/java/hudson/plugins/logparser/LogParserParser.java#L162

Browsing: https://<jenkins_server>/<instance>/job/<job_name>/<someBuildNumber>/parsed_console (as referred by Parsed Console Output sidebar link gives nothing) and https://<jenkins_server>/<instance>/job/<job_name>/<someBuildNumber>/parsed_console/log.html (renders only the vertical BAR line (it moves) between the 2 frames BUT nothing for the contents within those 2 frames (log_ref.html and log_content.html))

In Firefox: Doing Inspect page on browser on my Mac machine for the "Parsed Console Output" side bar link (referring to: https://<jenkins_server>/<instance>/job/<job_name>/<someBuildNumber>/parsed_console) shows the following lines in the Inspect page > Console section.

Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://<jenkins_server>/<jenkins_instance>/job/<job_name>/<build_number>/parsed_console/log.html does not permit framing.  (unknown)

If I browse https://<jenkins_server>/<instance>/job/<job_name>/<someBuildNumber>/parsed_console/log.html, then I'm getting the following lines in Inspect page > Console window:

https://<jenkins_server>/<jenkins_instance>/job/<job_name>/<build_number>/parsed_console/log_ref.html does not permit framing.  (unknown)
Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://<jenkins_server>/<jenkins_instance>/job/<job_name>/<build_number>/parsed_console/log_content.html does not permit framing.  (unknown)

In Chrome, doing Inspect on the page, shows the following errors (Refused to display / frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny' / net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE):

Refused to display 'https://<jenkins_server>/<jenkins_instance>/job/<jobname>/15/parsed_console/job/<jobname>/15/parsed_console/log.html' in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'deny'.
(index):22 GET https://<jenkins_server>/<jenkins_instance>/job/<jobname>/15/parsed_console/job/<jobname>/15/parsed_console/log.html net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_RESPONSE

The issue was NOT with the plugin.

Using Inspect on the webpage, it was clear that something was set to DENY in either Apache / Nginx.

I modified the my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/jenkins_https.conf file
