Getting the remote IP of the client which triggered a build

[Andreas Wuz]

Hi @ all,

I am implementing an infrastructure with Jenkins. I hava a parameterized job with a basic shell script. This script can be run remotely, i.e. it could be triggered over an http-request like http://testserver.de:8009/job/receiveCSR/build?token=123. Now I need the IP of the client, which set triggered this build. When I see the console output

Started by remote host 10.1.1.111

I think, this should be possible, isn't it? If not, is there any plugin which I can use for this?

Thanks for your help!

You call access it by RemoteCause, pseudo code:

for (CauseAction action : build.getActions(CauseAction.class)) {
    for (Cause cause : action.getCauses()) {
        if(cause instanceof RemoteCause){
        //blah
        }
    }
}

javadoc for RemoteCause.getAddr()

If you want to access it via shell script, you can install the EnvInject plugin and configure the plugin to Evaluated Groovy script

import hudson.model.*
import static hudson.model.Cause.RemoteCause


def ipaddress=""
for (CauseAction action : currentBuild.getActions(CauseAction.class)) {

    for (Cause cause : action.getCauses()) {
        if(cause instanceof RemoteCause){

             ipaddress=cause.addr
             break;
        }
    }
}
return ["ip":ipaddress]

then access the variable $ip in shell script
