Jenkins Job Checker

This Python script interacts with a Jenkins server, retrieves information about jobs, and records certain details (name, URL, and owner) into a CSV file. It's particularly useful for administrators who need to audit Jenkins jobs and understand job ownership.

Features

• Retrieves jobs recursively from Jenkins.
• Checks job configuration for specific owners.
• Generates a CSV report listing job names, URLs, and owners.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher.
• Access to a Jenkins server with appropriate credentials.
• Required Python packages: python-jenkins.

Installation

• Clone the repository or download the script directly.
• Install the required Python package python-jenkins using pip:

pip install python-jenkins

• Configure your Jenkins server URL, username, and API key. You can provide them via a configuration file or environment variables. Refer to the script's documentation for detailed instructions. Jenkins API key could be found under your Profile -> Configure -> API Token.

Usage

1. Prepare your Jenkins credentials by either:
   • Placing your Jenkins server URL, username, and API token in a file named .api_key in the script's directory (each piece of information on a new line).
   • Or, setting environment variables: JENKINS_URL, JENKINS_USERNAME, and JENKINS_API_KEY.
2. Create a file named .owners containing the usernames of the potential owners you're checking against (each username on a new line).

Run the script:

python jenkins_job_checker.py

The script will create a report.csv file in the same directory, containing the name, URL, and owner of each Jenkins job.
