You are correct. I am only changing the description of the node, not the name.

You might not want to change the name of the node, but rather a label, like db_ver_1 or db_ver_2. Changing node names may be confusing, and using labels allows you to specify jobs that only run on one or the other database. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Stanley, Jason Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 9:59 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: How to update node description via a script? Thanks I want to update the description of the node to reflect the database version that is installed. Example: Description: DB Version1 Run my job to upgrade the DB to version2. After job runs, DB is now version2 but description of node still says 1. I need to manually change this to 2. -----Original Message----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of grayaii Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 9:53 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How to update node description via a script? There is a way to *get *the node description: http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Slave.html#getNodeDescription%28%29 http://javadoc.jenkins-ci.org/hudson/model/Slave.html#getNodeDescription%28%29 Here is a wiki page that I created that has a code snippet on how to get node information. (just to get your feet wet with groovy) https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Display+Information+About+Nodes But I don't know a way to *set *the description programatically after a node has been created. If you find out, please post. Out of curiosity, why do you want to update the description of the node? You can figure out where a particular job ran, and not only that, you can query the node to figure out what jobs it ran. -- View this message in context: http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/How-to-update-node-description-via-a-script-tp4631236p4631537.html Sent from the Jenkins users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
