  root@debian11-21:[~]: ps fauxw | grep jenk
  jenkins    18642  0.3 31.6 4715720 1268388 ?     Ssl  Dec20   4:05 /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/java/jenkins.war --webroot=/var/cache/jenkins/war --httpPort=8080 --sessionTimeout=1440 --sessionEviction=43200

If its started via systemd add the override file ''/etc/systemd/system/jenkins.service.d/override.conf''
with content
  JENKINS_OPTS=--sessionTimeout=1440 --sessionEviction=43200

Reload daemon and service:
  systemctl daemon-reload
  systemctl restart jenkins

  file:
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: 0755
    path: /etc/systemd/system/jenkins.service.d
    state: directory

    mode: 0644
    section: Service
    option: Environment
    value: '"JENKINS_OPTS=--sessionTimeout=1440 --sessionEviction=43200"'
