Report Generation and Automatic Emails
Hi,
we are using Jenkins integration to kick off our tests after the deploy. I am planning to send some of the dashboards (as a report or screenshot) via email once the test is done. I am thinking we can use the rest apis to generate reports but is there a way to send an email automatically after the test is done?
Hi. Great to hear that you already worked on a Jenkins plugin. I heard this requests several times in the past. Would you mind sharing your plugin with the community?
To your questions: right now its not possible to send an automated email when a test is finished. dynaTrace only sends out automatic emails when Incidents fire
Hi Andi,
For the Jenkins integration - We are using a tool called Soasta and they have provided us a plugin to install. It is a free tool if you guys want to try it. Free up to 100 Vusers. http://www.soasta.com/
Happy to help anyone in case of any issues.
For the automatic email - Is it on the road map?
Hi,
You can do this via scheduled reporting tasks and the available REST interfaces as follows:
- You can set up a scheduled reporting task that has the schedule set to manually so it is not triggered on a time-basis.
- Then you can use the REST interfaces to trigger this task based on the system-profile and task-name, i.e. we have a system profile "AmazonAccount" and a Task "Amazon Cost Report", then the email can be triggered via the following REST call:
http://localhost:8020/rest/management/profiles/AmazonAccount/tasks/Amazon%20CostReport/run
By adding such a REST call to your Jenkins job run, you can send out the report whenever a job finishes.
See Tasks and Monitors (REST) for details about the REST interfaces for tasks.
Thank you Dominik. This is helpful. I will try this.
