Uninstall the plugins wherever you see warnings on Manage Jenkins page of Jenkins. Follow the following steps:

1. Go to Jenkins Ex: http://localhost:8080/
2. Click on Manage Jenkins
3. You will see some warnings. Ex: Warnings have been published for the following currently installed components: Jenkins 2.289.1 core and libraries Multiple security vulnerabilities in Jenkins 2.299 and earlier, LTS 2.289.1 and earlier Note: You may get different warnings (one or more warnings)
4. Right click on each and every warnings (Please do it one by one if you have more than one warnings)
5. Now go to Manage Plugins (on the same page.. or Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins)
6. Click on Installed tab
7. Paste the copied link in the Search box
8. Uninstall the Plugin
9. Restart the Jenkins once you uninstall all the unwanted or unsecured plugins

Please repeat the above steps until you uninstall all the unwanted plugins that showed up as warnings on Manage Jenkins page.

Once you uninstall, you will not get any Logging ID error message while configuring. Juts make sure that you don't see any warnings.

Hope this helps! Please like it if it has worked or unlike if it didn't help you.

Thank you. :)
