I'am using Jenkins and I would like to have statistics of all builds executions.
I'am already using the plugin "build-metric" but pipeline jobs are not included in the statistics.
How to include pipeline jobs in the result of this plugin ? Or do you know an another plugin which include pipeline job ?

I am trying to connect mongodb server for a jenkins pipeline job to save all the job artifacts in mongodb.
So recently I came across this mongodb-document-upload plugin which is available in post build section for a freestyle job that helps in uploading all json artifacts to mongodb. So I want to know how to use this plugin in a pipeline job? ( Plugin works fine in a freestyle job).
I would appreciate if anyone could briefly point out what the difference between Build and Delivery pipelines in Jenkins? Are they the same with different producers?
I don't have a depth knowledge of both plugin but from my experience, the subtle difference between the Delivery Pipeline Plugin and Build Pipeline Plugin is that the first one allows you to use Freestyle Jobs and Pipeline Jobs while the second one only allows Freestyle Jobs.
So if you're using Shared Libs for your pipelines and want to use any of this plugins to have an overview of downstream and upstream Jobs you should definitely go for Delivery pipeline plugin

Does anyone have a mechanism to simulate what the promoted builds plugin does or the batch tasks plugin does, but for pipeline builds?
I want to be able to for example, run the maven release plugin after a build, or as the promoted plugin allows, "promote" a build.
The best case scenario would be that the promoted builds plugin or the batch task plugin would take a pipeline as input...
Or possible allow me to call another job (optionally) once a build is finished - but then I would want that job to run on this result.
You can define pipelines at promotion time with this plugin :

what is the difference between buildflow, multijob and pipeline plugin.
If i have jobs need to run on the same node sequentially, which one should i use and why?
I have some parameters that are to be shared by all the jobs. I can do it using multijob and build flow also. which one is preferable?
I am confused.
Use the Pipeline plugin.
From the Build Flow plugin page:
"Deprecated: Users should migrate to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Pipeline+Plugin"
If you're starting from scratch, the answer is basically the same for the Multijob plugin (prefer the pipeline plugin). The Multijob plugin was created pre-jenkins-2, and the pipeline plugin has implemented much of its functionality. Pipeline is one of the default plugins and is being actively maintained by multiple developers. Here is someone migrating from Multijob to Pipeline in 2016.
I am using Jenkins pipeline scripts for all my jobs. I was using Promoted-builds plugin for other jobs, But its not compatible with Pipeline scripts. Is there any alternative? .
Pipeline script has manual input but that does not solve the problem as the job is in build queue until the input is provided.
I have been using Hudson / Jenkins since 2007. I have never found the Promoted Builds plugin to be that useful.
Instead I use labels / tags from different jobs (Build and Unit Test, System Test, Performance Test) or artifact repositories as markers of where an version or artifact has progressed to in the overall "pipeline".
Regarding Artifactory:
In my Build and Unit Test job, on Success of the Integration branch I tag the source code and upload the tested artifact to Artifactory.
In my System Test job, on success I call my Performance Test job as a downstream job passing the version number of the successfully tested package as a parameter.
In my Performance Test job, on success I "copy-promote" the tested artifact to the next designated location in Artifactory.
