YouMonitor and AWS elastic agents

Post by bbianchi »

I am trying to integrate YouMonitor with my Jenkins server, which uses elastic agents on AWS. The agents run 10 build jobs and then self terminate.

I installed the Jenkins YouMonitor Plugin and created a pipeline with build commands wrapped inside of "youMonitor {}" blocks as a test environment.

Unfortunately, It seems the repository data is stored directly on the agents, which as I have explained, are not permanent agents.

Should I create a stage that copies the repository data off the elastic agents and into a central location, say on the Jenkins server itself, before the agent terminates? Or perhaps some other solution?

Please advise. Thank you.

Hello,
YouMonitor plugin automatically copies its logs from the remote nodes to the Jenkins server.
Are these elastic agents actually Jenkins nodes? If so, then such code should work (from docs):

Code: Select all

node {
  youMonitor {                            
    bat 'mvn install'
  }                                       
}
Do you use some plugin to create and/or connect to the AWS elastic agents? Could you please provide a link.

Please note that it is currently not possible to monitor remote builds which require manual uploading and launching using SSH, SCP or similar tasks, i.e. anything that is not a Jenkins node.

Thank you for the response. Looks like the data is in fact being copied from the elastic agents back to the Jenkins server. Not sure how I missed it initially.

Please disregard.
