With hundreds of plugins in the Update Center, Jenkins integrates with practically every tool in the continuous integration and continuous delivery toolchain. The VictorOps integration with Jenkins provides real-time contextual information regarding your builds directly into the timeline. The following guide will walk you through this simple-to-implement integration.
Note:
- There are two Jenkins integrations. The other is Jenkins Delivery Insights Integration Guide, which sends you notifications in the Timeline regarding build status.
In VictorOps
Navigate to the Integrations page and find the REST endpoint integration by visiting Integrations >> REST Endpoint
Copy the REST endpoint URL to your clipboard.
In Jenkins
First, select the build or deployment you want to add VictorOps notifications for. Then select Configure.
Under “Build” select Add build step then Execute shell.
Paste the following cURL command into the “Command” box. Make sure to replace the “VICTOROPS_REST_ENDPOINT_URL” with the URL you copied from VictorOps.
curl -X POST --header 'Accept: application/json' --data '{ "entity_id": "'${BUILD_NAME}'", "message_type": "INFO", "state_message": "Jenkins Build: '${BUILD_DISPLAY_NAME}' is underway", "BUILD_ID": "'${BUILD_ID}'" }' 'VICTOROPS_REST_ENDPOINT_URL'
If you wish to add additional Jenkins variables please see the available list by selecting the link below the Command Box:
