Description
Jenkins: 2.73.2.1-rolling
InfluxDB plugin: 1.12.3
Jenkins pipeline implementation.
I am attempting to publish sonarqube results with the influxdb plugin, but I get the following error:
[InfluxDB Plugin] Publishing data to: [url=http://influx.example.com, description=influxdb, username=jenkins, password=*****, database=jenkins]
[InfluxDB Plugin] SonarQube data found. Writing to InfluxDB...
[InfluxDB Plugin] Failed to collect data. Ignoring Exception:java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed : HTTP error code : 401
[InfluxDB Plugin] Completed.
This is because our sonarqube installation requires authentication. I have wrapped the step([$class: 'InfluxDbPublisher']), inside a withSonarQubeEnv block, which exposes a number of new environment variables, including SONAR_HOST_URL and SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN.
It would be great if the influxdb plugin could utilize the exposed ENV variables to authenticate with Sonarqube (if available)

Christoph Forster Are you using Jenkins Pipeline?

added a comment - Christoph Forster Are you using Jenkins Pipeline? Jonas Lindström: yes
This seems to be an issue with some kind of scope (I am not terribly familiar with the inner workings of jenkins).
Using the WithSonarQubeEnv provides the auth token and host url, but the InfluxDB plugin seems not to be able to access it (even tho it reads this variable in the same exact way as the host url, which succeeds). BUT as a workaround, doing as Christoph Forster mentioned, setting the sonar auth token as a GLOBAL env variable (that is, Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Global properties -> Environment variables, enable and add SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN). This is insecure, since this kind of information is supposed to be handled by Credentials Provider, so use only in dire situations. I am confident that Aleksi Simell will find the root cause to this and correct it (I made a small PR relating to this, wink wink).
And to add, I am using the Multibranch Declarative Pipelines when testing this.
Issue fixed with https://github.com/jenkinsci/influxdb-plugin/pull/74. Will be available in next release.
I managed it to send the Authentication using a "Jenkins Global Environment Variable" named "SONAR_AUTH_TOKEN".
Also it is important (using SonarQube 7.4 and InfluxDB Plugin 1.20.1) to set an Environment Variable "SONAR_HOST_URL".
