List of Slaves connected to master - Hudson

Question

Is there a way to find it programatically? I need this as part of an automated run; So this would be very helpful if there is an existing remote API call which can give this.

Answer 1

Groovy script to get all computers:

def jenkins = Jenkins.instance
def computers = jenkins.computers

computers.each{ 
  println "${it.displayName} ${it.hostName}"
}

Answer 2

You don't need to parse the HTML - most of the Hudson pages can be turned into API calls by adding URL suffix, e.g. make GET calls to:

http://hudson:8080/computer/api/json

Switch the JSON for either XML or Python if you prefer these over JSON.

If you use just the API suffix, you'll get a short generic help page on the API.

Answer 3

Look at http://hudson:8080/computer/
