⌨️ Report CI/CD Events

800

We provide Faros Events CLI for reporting CI/CD events to Faros CE platform. The CLI currently supports sending two types of events: CI Event and CD Event.

Usage

Instrumenting your CI/CD pipelines is as easy as adding a single command at the end. E.g sending CI event:

./faros_event.sh CI \
    --community_edition \
    --url "http://localhost:8080" \
    --run "<run_source>://<run_org>/<run_pipeline>/<run_id>" \
    --commit "<commit_source>://<commit_org>/<commit_repo>/<commit_sha>" \
    --artifact "<artifact_source>://<artifact_org>/<artifact_repo>/<artifact_id>" \
    --run_status "Success" \
    --run_start_time "1626804346000" \
    --run_end_time "1626804358000"
./faros_event.sh CD \
    --community_edition \
    --url "http://localhost:8080" \
    --artifact "<artifact_source>://<artifact_organization>/<artifact_repository>/<artifact_id>" \
    --deploy "<deploy_source>://<deploy_application>/<deploy_environment>/<deploy_id>" \
    --deploy_status "Success" \
    --deploy_start_time "1626804356000" \
    --deploy_end_time "1626804357000"

Entity Overview

1820

CI Event

Use CI events to instrument code build pipelines. E.g report the result of a successful code build pipeline execution.

The main entity written by a CI event is a cicd_Artifact which is associated to a cicd_ArtifactCommitAssociation that ties the artifact to the code version (vcs_Commit) it was built with. The cicd_Artifact is also optionally tied to a cicd_Build to get timing and status information.

CD Event

Use CD events to instrument deployment pipelines. E.g report the result of a successful application deployment to prod.

The main entity written by a CD event is a cicd_Deployment which is associated to a cicd_ArtifactDeployment and points to a compute_Application. The cicd_Deployment is also optionally tied to a cicd_Build to get timing and status information about the pipeline execution that triggered the deployment. In a CD event, one can either pass:

  • an artifact URI (for which Faros may have received a CI event already)
  • or a commit representing the code version of what is being deployed; in this case, a dummy cicd_Artifact and cicd_ArtifactCommitAssociation will be created
