As an initial warning, I am COMPLETELY new to Jenkins. I have never installed it, or seen it running. My manager gave me a task, saying that a team member had suggested Jenkins.
We have an in-house load test tool, which runs on multiple nodes, resulting in significant load (millions of connections). We need to orchestrate the initialisation of each node, and I perceive the need to monitor the execution, restart on failure, and terminate at a given point (assumed to be time). Actually, I haven't even seen the load test tool yet, as I have only just (re)joined the team after several years. I am assuming it is a unix/linux command line executable with parameters, or perhaps a config script which may need adapting for each run. Hopefully that is enough information to get started. So, my initial questoin is, does Jenkins suit the purpose? ...and my follow on questoin(s) will be, how! (I have been viewing youtube/googling all day. All I have found that appears to be relevant, are references to Execute Shell, and some 'pro' Jenkins blogs on switching from CRON. One blog indicates that Jenkins would be installed on each machine, but my perception is a single, stand alone, server, which orchestrates multiple nodes, by SSH login, command execution and monitoring ...but perhaps, I am way off) Thank you in advance for any help. Also, is this the main forum for Jenkins? I was surprised there wasn't one on their site,which appears to favour a chat facility (which doesn't seem very practical when looking for advice around the globe).
