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

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 xml or python if you prefer over json

if you use just the api suffix, you'll get a short generic help page on the api

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Groovy script to get all computers:

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

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