Jenkins Build Status On Ninja Blocks RGB LED

Nestor v0.1.2 is out and one of its new features is nestor ninja for monitoring Jenkins and displaying the latest build status on Ninja Blocks RGB LED device (if you have a block, it’s the ninja’s eyes).

Here’s a usage example: export JENKINS_URL=<url> export NINJABLOCKS_TOKEN=<token_from_https://a.ninja.is/hacking> nestor ninja

Red for build failure, green for build success, yellow for build warning, and white for unknown status. The yellow light looks quite similar to green, and the white one does look blue-ish.

And the best place to run nestor ninja? On the block itself of course!

ssh ubuntu@ninjablock.local apt-get install upstart npm install -g nestor cat /usr/lib/node_modules/nestor/conf/ninja_upstart.conf > /etc/init/nestor_ninja.conf vi /etc/init/nestor_ninja.conf # and change JENKINS_URL and NINJABLOCKS_TOKEN values shutdown -r now

Log messages will then be written to /var/log/nestor_ninja.log
