How do you perform health checks on Jenkins jobs?

To check the operability of Jenkins tasks, I usually perform the following steps:
- Manual run — to ensure it starts and runs without errors.
- Log analysis — check console output for errors or warnings.
- Artifact verification — if the task is supposed to create artifacts, ensure they are correctly generated and accessible.
- Trigger testing — verify that the task runs on schedule, on commit, or other triggers.
- Status monitoring — monitor the task status in Jenkins (success, failure, unstable).
- Automated tests — if the task runs tests, ensure they pass successfully.
Thus, verification includes both manual launch and analysis, as well as automatic status monitoring.
