This project uses Spring Boot to package the collector as an executable JAR with dependencies.

Building and Deploying

Execute the following command to package the collector into an executable JAR file. 

    mvn install

Copy this file to your server and launch it using:

  java -JAR hudson-collector.jar

You will need to provide an application.properties file that contains information about how to connect to the Dashboard MongoDB database instance, as well as properties the Hudson collector requires. See the Spring Boot [documentation](http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files) for information about sourcing this properties file.

Sample application.properties file 
    #Database Name
    dbname=dashboard

    #Database HostName - default is localhost
    dbhost=localhost

    #Database Port - default is 27017
    dbport=9999

    #Database Username - default is blank
    dbusername=db

    #Database Password - default is blank
    dbpassword=dbpass

    #Collector schedule (required)
    jenkins.cron=0 0/5 * * * *

    #Jenkins server (required) - Can provide multiple
    jenkins.servers[0]=http://jenkins.company.com

    #If using username/token for api authentication (required for Cloudbees Jenkins Ops Center) see sample
    jenkins.servers[1]=http://username:token@jenkins.company.com

    #Another option: If using same username/password Jenkins auth - set username/apiKey to use HTTP Basic Auth (blank=no auth)
    jenkins.username=
    jenkins.apiKey=

    #Determines if build console log is collected - defaults to false
    jenkins.saveLog=true
