Jenkins

In order to collect information from your jenkins server, you will need:

  • url of your Jenkins instance
  • username the username for your Jenkins
  • password the password for your user

Configuring Jenkins

No configuration is necessary to gather Jenkins data other than having valid credentials.

Telegraf

The data for the dashboard is populated by the included Telegraf Jenkins configuration. The Configuration requires the following environment variables

  • INFLUX_TOKEN - The token with the permissions to read Telegraf configs and write data to the telegraf bucket. You can just use your master token to get started.
  • INFLUX_ORG - The name of your Organization (this will be your email address on the InfluxDB Cloud free tier)
  • INFLUX_HOST - The URL of your InfluxDB host (this can your localhost, a remote instance, or InfluxDB Cloud)
  • JENKINS_HOST - The URL where your Jenkins is located
  • JENKINS_USERNAME - The username to use
  • JENKINS_PASSWORD - The password for your username
  • JENKINS_BUCKET - the bucket to store your data

You MUST set these environment variables before running Telegraf using something similar to the following commands

  • This can be found on the Load Data > Tokens page in your browser: export INFLUX_TOKEN=TOKEN
  • Your Organization name can be found on the Settings page in your browser: export INFLUX_ORG=my_org

Customizations

Be sure to update the values for these variables: jenkinJobNames, jenkinsBucket, and jenkinsHostnames
