Configuring Jenkins integrations

Manage Jenkins™ jobs with your deployments and pipelines.

Obtain the Measure plugin and install it in your Jenkins instance. On the Jenkins Plugin page search for velocity. Complete the integration by pasting the Measure credentials into Jenkins.

Note: Ensure the following requirements are met prior to installation of the plugin.
  • You must have admin privileges in Jenkins.
  • Upgrade the Jenkins plugin version to 2.1.0 in order to upgrade the Velocity version to 2.1.0 and later. Velocity version 2.0.6 will be the last version to support the previous Jenkins plugin version of 2.0.6 and earlier.
Note:

You must not integrate the same instance of Jenkins using Jenkins (Legacy) and Jenkins (ucv-ext-jenkins) plug-in in Measure. Integrating the same Jenkins instance using Jenkins (Legacy) and Jenkins plug-in in Velocity can result in data corruption.

This configuration makes Jenkins jobs available to pipelines and deployment plans. You can run Jenkins jobs with Measure and use the output in later tasks. After you configure an integration, add Jenkins tasks to deployment plans and pipeline stages.

  1. Click Settings > Integrations > Plugins.
    A list of defined integrations with current information about each integration is displayed in a table.

  5. In the Integration token field, click copy to copy the token and then paste it into the corresponding field in Jenkins.
  6. Click Save.
    Depending on the amount of data,the initial integration can take some time.
    Synchronization occurs every minute. To prevent synchronization, click the Disable/Enable field on the Integrations page.
After the initial integration, you can add Jenkins tasks to deployment plans and select any of the integrated jobs. Similarly, you can add Jenkins jobs to pipeline stages.
