Get jenkins jobs data in to elastic search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi

I am trying to create a dashboard to monitor different components of our software, migrating from one environment to another.

Package A

Dev --> test --> QA --> UAT --> Prod

Package B

Dev --> test --> QA --> UAT --> Prod

Package C

Dev --> test --> QA --> UAT --> Prod

Package D

Dev --> test --> QA --> UAT --> Prod

Each package has different jenkins jobs in different environment which performs certain tasks. I want to show this flow on Kibana dashboard.

  1. Is there any possible way I can bring this data to Elastic search.
    Using jenkins Api I can see data in json format. Is there any tool or a way to get this data in to elastic search from where I can display it neatly on kibana.

  2. Currently I have used filebeats and metric beats for other purpose. Can I use any of these tools to get data in to elastic search.

  3. I have seen Canvas demonstration. Can I use this feature to create custom dashboard. Which fits my needs. I dont need graphs or any other things coz I want to show only current state of job(Success, Failure, Progress). I also want to show some ${build variables} like build number, timestamp, package name. etc.

Metricbeat can call the API and then pull the info in.

@warkolm
So I can install metric beat on any server and provide all the jenkins jobs apis to get data.

Can you please share me the details. How I can configure those settings.

Take a look at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-http.html
