Jenkins build events integrated into Show Slow

Show slow allows for custom events to be graphed along with all of your normal events.  Seeing your various performance metrics graphed with your various Jenkins builds labeled on the graph is extremely useful.  You can compare the various metrics across your various builds.

To add the Jenkins builds as custom events in show slow simply add a shell build event to your build job.  In the command field add the following bash script.

	URL_PREFIX=http://www.example.com/
	RESOURCE_URL=http://www.example.com/
	SHOW_SLOW_URL=http://192.168.154.130/showslow_1.2/beacon/events/
	wget "$SHOW_SLOW_URL?type=JenkinsJob&url_prefix=$URL_PREFIX&title=${JOB_NAME}_${BUILD_NUMBER}&resource_url=$RESOURCE_URL&start=$(date +'%F %T')&end=$(date +'%F %T')"
