How do I add text to Radiator View Icons?

[Chris Knowlton]

I posted this in the jenkins reddit, but that place appears empty.

I have some scripts that run whose job it is to verify (and in some cases restart) services running on my build slaves in order to validate their fitness to host nightly builds.

Once I have this working appropriately, I plan to take the automation to the next level and remove any slaves who fail this testing from the rotation.

For now, though, I have a nice red/green radiator view that shows the status of all my build slaves that I could, if necessary, run on a cadence.

What I would really like to do is to add data from those tests to the display.  Namely kernel version, OS distribution, etc.  That would turn a view that has some small utility into one that has a lot more.

I suspect that I need to write a groovy script that runs after each job completes that takes information from the environment, formats it and then displays it in a jenkins object some how, then refresh the view. 

But I can not find anything out there that serves as a reference for how I would do this.

Is the answer to create a plugin?  Do I need all that?

Lil help please!

Thanks!

Hi, I'm the maintainer of that plugin. I think the clean way for that would be either that can ask for the description to be shown alongside the job, or if it's dynamic add an extension point to be able to contribute that.

Is that a dynamic text, or using the job description would do?

Ack. Then the next step is to file an issue in the tracker on that component.
And preferably the associated PR.

Thanks!

Dynamic text.  Sourced from the execution of the job.
