Jenkins Connections

The Jenkins Connections page lets you control which Jenkins jobs are included in Development Insights data collection. Each Jenkins connection you have configured in Venue.sh appears here, and you can add jobs to start pulling build and pipeline data into your Jenkins dashboard.

Prerequisites

The Jenkins plugin must be enabled before Jenkins connections appear on this page.

Viewing Jenkins Connections

1. Open Development Insights from the sidebar and click a dashboard name.
2. Click the overflow menu (⋯) next to a Jenkins dashboard in the list, then select Manage Connections. Or navigate directly to Development Insights > Jenkins Connections.

Each Jenkins connection is displayed as an expandable card, which shows:

• Connection endpoint - The Jenkins instance the connection points to.
• Sync status - The current state of the connection (e.g., Synced, Syncing, Failed).
• Job count - How many Jenkins jobs are currently configured for data collection.

Adding a Jenkins Job

Adding a job tells Venue.sh to start collecting build and pipeline data from that job.

1. Expand the connection you want to configure.

2. Click Add Job.

3. Search for and select a job from the list.

   The list is fetched live from your Jenkins instance. Jobs already added to the connection are excluded.

4. Click Add Job.

Data collection begins automatically once the job is added. The job appears in the connection's table with a collection status that updates as data is synced.

Job Table

Each connection lists its jobs with the following columns:

Column	What it shows
Job Path	The full path of the job in Jenkins, including any parent folders.
Name	The display name of the job.
Actions	A retry option for jobs whose most recent collection did not succeed.

If a job's collection fails, click the retry (↻) button in the Actions column to trigger a new collection run.

For a consolidated view across all sources on a dashboard, open Sync Status.

Troubleshooting

Situation	What to do
No connections appear	Enable the Jenkins plugin in the Plugins section, and ensure your Jenkins credentials are valid.
A job doesn't appear in search	The job may not be visible to the configured Jenkins credentials. Check permissions in your Jenkins instance.
Collection keeps failing	Click the retry (↻) button. If it continues to fail, confirm the Jenkins plugin credentials are still valid.
Jenkins dashboard shows no data	Make sure at least one job has been added and its collection has completed.
