Reporters

Reporters

Zuul can communicate results and progress back to configurable protocols. For example, after succeeding in a build a pipeline can be configured to post a positive review back to Gerrit.

There are three stages when a report can be handled. That is on: Start, Success or Failure. Each stage can have multiple reports. For example, you can set verified on Gerrit and send an email.

Gerrit

Zuul works with standard versions of Gerrit by invoking the gerrit command over an SSH connection. It reports back to Gerrit using SSH.

The dictionary passed to the Gerrit reporter is used for gerrit review arguments, with the boolean value of true simply indicating that the argument should be present without following it with a value. For example, verified: 1 becomes gerrit review --verified 1 and submit: true becomes gerrit review --submit.

Gerrit Configuration

The configuration for posting back to Gerrit is shared with the Gerrit trigger in zuul.conf as described in zuulconf.

SMTP

A simple email reporter is also available.

SMTP Configuration

zuul.conf contains the SMTP server and default to/from as described in zuulconf.

Each pipeline can overwrite the subject or the to or from address by providing alternatives as arguments to the reporter. For example, :

pipelines:
  - name: post-merge
    manager: IndependentPipelineManager
    trigger:
      - event: change-merged
    success:
      smtp:
        to: you@example.com
    failure:
      smtp:
        to: you@example.com
        from: alternative@example.com
        subject: Change {change} failed
