SumoUpload

The Function can be used in Jenkins Pipelines to send files data to Sumo Logic. Function allow below properties:-

1. file - Provide a file path or a directory path. If the value is a directory then data from all files within the directory will be sent to Sumo Logic.
2. includePathPattern - Provide a pattern to include file names or extension. For eg:- *.json will include all json files only.
3. excludePathPattern - Provide a pattern to exclude file names or extension. For eg:- *.json will exclude all json files only.
4. text - Provide any string that will be sent to Sumo Logic.
5. keyValueMap - Provide a key value map that will be converted to JSON and sent to Sumo Logic.
6. workingDir - Provides the path of the directory where files are present. The path will be searched in the node where the Pipeline Step is executed.
7. fields - Provide a key value map that will be sent as X-Sumo-Fields to Sumo Logic.

Below are some example uses of the Step Function :-

• Upload a file/folder from the workspace (or a String) to Sumo Logic.

SumoUpload(file:'file.txt')
SumoUpload(file:'someFolder')

• Upload with include/exclude patterns. The option accepts a comma-separated list of patterns.

SumoUpload(includePathPattern:'**/*', excludePathPattern:'**/*.log,**/*.json')

• Upload file from master directory when Pipeline Stage is running on a agent. Below will send File.txt file present in Archive Folder of the job pipeline on master system.

node('master')
{
  SumoUpload(file: "File.txt", workingDir: "$JENKINS_HOME/jobs/$JOB_NAME/builds/$BUILD_NUMBER/archive")
}

• Upload a text to Sumo Logic with Fields.

    script{
      fields = [
        jenkins_master: "test_master",
        result: currentBuild.currentResult
        ]
    }
    SumoUpload(text: "This is test String", fields: fields)

• Upload a Key Value map as JSON to Sumo Logic.

    script{
      deploy_event = [
        event_name: STAGE_NAME,
        result: currentBuild.currentResult
        ]
