Jenkins

In this example you are going to create a webhook integration between Jenkins and Port, which will ingest job and build entities.

Port configuration​

Create the following blueprint definition:

Jenkins job blueprint
{
"identifier": "jenkinsJob",
"description": "This blueprint represents a job event from Jenkins",
"title": "Jenkins Job",
"icon": "Jenkins",
"schema": {
"properties": {
"jobName": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Project Name"
},
"jobStatus": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Job Status",
"enum": ["created", "updated", "deleted"],
"enumColors": {
"created": "green",
"updated": "yellow",
"deleted": "red"
}
},
"timestamp": {
"type": "string",
"format": "date-time",
"title": "Timestamp",
"description": "Last updated timestamp of the job"
},
"url": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Project URL"
}
},
"required": []
},
"mirrorProperties": {},
"calculationProperties": {
"jobUrl": {
"title": "Job Full URL",
"calculation": "'https://your_jenkins_url/' + .properties.url",
"type": "string",
"format": "url"
}
},
"relations": {}
}
Jenkins build blueprint (including the Jenkins job relation)
{
"identifier": "jenkinsBuild",
"description": "This blueprint represents a build event from Jenkins",
"title": "Jenkins Build",
"icon": "Jenkins",
"schema": {
"properties": {
"buildStatus": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Build Status",
"enum": ["SUCCESS", "FAILURE", "UNSTABLE"],
"enumColors": {
"SUCCESS": "green",
"FAILURE": "red",
"UNSTABLE": "yellow"
}
},
"buildUrl": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Build URL",
"description": "URL to the build"
},
"timestamp": {
"type": "string",
"format": "date-time",
"title": "Timestamp",
"description": "Last updated timestamp of the build"
},
"buildDuration": {
"type": "number",
"title": "Build Duration",
"description": "Duration of the build"
}
},
"required": []
},
"mirrorProperties": {},
"calculationProperties": {},
"relations": {
"jenkinsJob": {
"title": "Jenkins Job",
"target": "jenkinsJob",
"required": false,
"many": false
}
}
}

Create the following webhook configuration using Port's UI

Jenkins job and build webhook configuration
  1. Basic details tab - fill the following details:

    1. Title : Jenkins Mapper;

    4. Icon : Jenkins;
  2. Integration configuration tab - fill the following JQ mapping:

    [
    {
    "blueprint": "jenkinsJob",
    "filter": ".body.type | startswith(\"item\")",
    "entity": {
    "identifier": ".body.url | sub(\"%20\"; \"-\"; \"g\") | sub(\"/\"; \"-\"; \"g\") | .[:-1]",
    "title": ".body.data.displayName",
    "properties": {
    "jobName": ".body.data.fullName",
    "url": ".body.url",
    "jobStatus": ".body.type | split(\".\") | last",
    "timestamp": ".body.time"
    }
    }
    },
    {
    "blueprint": "jenkinsBuild",
    "filter": ".body.type | startswith(\"run\")",
    "entity": {
    "identifier": ".body.data.fullDisplayName | sub(\" \"; \"-\"; \"g\") | sub(\"#\"; \"\"; \"g\")",
    "title": ".body.data.displayName",
    "properties": {
    "buildStatus": ".body.data.result",
    "buildUrl": ".body.url",
    "buildDuration": ".body.data.duration",
    "timestamp": ".body.data.timestamp / 1000 | todate"
    },
    "relations": {
    "jenkinsJob": ".body.source | tostring | sub(\"%20\"; \"-\"; \"g\") | sub(\"/\"; \"-\"; \"g\") | .[:-1]"
    }
    }
    }
    ]
  3. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

In order to view the different payloads and events available in Jenkins webhooks, click here

Done! any changes to a job or build process (queued, started, completed, finalized etc.) will trigger a webhook event to the webhook URL provided by Port. Port will parse the events according to the mapping and update the catalog entities accordingly.
