To support the continuous integration process this plugin provides the functionality to use traffic lights to show the status of a job. Whenever a build of an observed job starts or finishes, the traffic light will update its state. The traffic light is controlled by a network enabled power strip.
States of the traffic light
red |
no job is currently building, at least one job is unstable or has failed |
|---|---|
yellow |
at least one job is currently building |
green |
no job is currently building, all jobs are stable |
For disabled jobs and manually aborted builds the last completed build is used.
Supported Devices
In order to connect a traffic light (or similar device) to a jenkins server the following ethernet enabled power strips are supported:

Configuration
Jenkins Configuration
The available traffic lights (power strips) are configured on the global jenkins configuration page. Multiple traffic lights of the same type and/or of different types can be set up.
Job Configuration
Within a job's configuration page available traffic lights can be added to use for build status visualization.
Known Issues
- Loss of configuration after update from 2.0: Due to renamed properties, the old configuration will be considered invalid and has to be entered again.
Future Plans
- Add support for more types of power strips.
- Add different algorithms for traffic light behaviour.
- Add generic HTTP post/get controller to integrate unknown power strips or other devices.
- Extend input validation.
