Configuring Yontrack for Jenkins

In this section, we'll see how to configure Yontrack for Jenkins pipelines.

Don't forget to check the Configuration as Code section to see how to configure Yontrack using CasC.

Yontrack needs to be able to access the Jenkins API. Start by creating a Jenkins API token.

Create a secret in the same namespace as Yontrack with the name yontrack-jenkins and with the value of the Jenkins API token in the token key.

In your Yontrack Casc files, define:

ontrack:
  config:
    jenkins:
      name: jenkins
      url: <jenkins URL>
      username: <Jenkins user email>
      password: {{ secrets.yontrack-jenkins.token }}

In the Helm chart values for your Yontrack installation, declare this secret:

ontrack:
  casc:
    secrets:
      mapping: file
      names:
        - yontrack-jenkins

When Yontrack is restarted, it will be able to access the Jenkins API. You can check this by navigating to your user menu at Configurations > Jenkins configurations. You should see the Jenkins configuration you just created and you can test it by using the button.
