Integrates Jenkins with the Jabber/XMPP instant messaging protocol. Note that you also need to install the instant-messaging plugin.
This plugin enables Jenkins to send build notifications via Jabber, as well as let users talk to Jenkins via a 'bot' to run commands, query build status etc..
This plugin needs the instant-messaging plugin. Please ensure that the latest version of this plug-in is also installed.
If you have a secure Jenkins that does not allow anonymous user to build, you will need to have a user for Jabber. !build command can give an error as discussed in JENKINS-15897. As of version 1.35, the error is misleading as Jenkins complains about the command syntax instead of unauthorized access error.
Adding a dedicated authenticated user for the bot could fix this problem:
- Add a new Jenkins user (will assume the username is notification)
- If using Matrix-based security (Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security), add permission for the notification user for Job build, cancel, discover and read
- Create a new global credentials and set the password for the user notification
- In Jabber Plugin Configuration, set the Jenkins username to notification
If you experience any problems using the plugin please increase the log level of the logger hudson.plugins.jabber to FINEST (see ), try to reproduce the problem and attach the collected logs to the JIRA issue.
