Quick start

Once the plugin's installation has finished, go to the Jenkins main page. An icon has been added at bottom of the left menu. To access the monitor plugin you must click on it.

By default, Monitor Pro tries to connect to Jenkins at http://localhost:8080/jenkins, if we have configured Jenkins on another port or base path, we need to set the correct value in the configuration menu. Remember that Monitor Pro runs on Jenkis, so it is not to set any user or password. You only need to fill in these filds if you run Monitor Pro on another web application or if you want monitoring another jenkins server.

Local Mode

By default, Monitor Pro tries to connect to the Jenkins host. Remember that Monitor Pro runs on Jenkins, so it is not to set any user or password.

Remote Mode

If you want to monitoring another Jenkis Server, you need to follow the next steps:

Create an user to Monitor Pro in the Jenkins target.
Install, config and enable the CORS plugin.

Set the credentias created above, in the configuration menu of the Monitor Pro.

Create Jobs Groups

If you need testing your application in many difererents environments or configurations, you can create a group of Jobs. For this, you have to add a new text parameter to each Job of the group.

{width="699"}

You can see the result of doing this, in the image below

Technology

The interface and logic of Monitor Pro, are built entirely with the Angular Framework and TypeScript. Jelly, Stapler or Java, are only used to integrate the application as a plugin on jenkins. Monitor Pro obtains job status information by making requests to the Jenkins REST API.
