Configure two custom plugins in telegraf - influxdb

I have created a custom plugin and it works well. And dockerize that custom plugin then also it works well.
What I want to do is create one more custom plugin and dockerize that plugin. And set these two dockerize custom plugins in my telegef.conf file as input plugins.
Is it possible? If it is possible then how to implement it?
Can anybody help me?

You can use the execd input plugin, and have it launch your docker containers running an individual plugin, as long as those containers write their data to STDOUT

How to deploy weblogic application as docker container completely using Dockerfile?

I've a simple REST API in the weblogic application. I've to deploy the application as the docker container. But, I'm facing a problem in defining the Dockerfile.
Dockerfile
FROM store/oracle/weblogic:12.2.1.4
COPY target/app.war /u01/oracle
Above is my current Dockerfile. With the current dockerfile, I have to manually deploy the application on the weblogic server. We would like to automate the application deployment using Dockerfile and didn't get the exact examples.
Please advise.
This is a complex task, so it is hard to explain the whole process here.
The high-level steps that you need to execute are the followings:
Start a properly configured WebLogic domain in Docker. This task involves the creation of the admin and managed servers and WL cluster, etc.
Build the application that you wanna deploy
Configure the database properly if you have any
Create the WL resources like connection pool, JMS, etc manually or via WLST script
Deploy your artifact via the WL web console or with WLST script or copy the file under the autodeploy directory
Be careful because the tasks that you executed manually will be lost if you drop your docker container.
You can find concrete examples, use cases, automated scripts that you can use and well prepared, ready for use WebLogic Docker images here: https://github.com/zappee/docker-images
If you have a concrete question, not a general one, like this, then please start a new thread.
Take a look at the GitHub project:

How can I build and run a .devcontainer folder outside vscode?

VS Code has this cool feature where you can create devcontainers which leverage docker and can help your team build software in a containerised and unified way - context. However, I want to also use the dev containers outside of VS Code. Is there any way to do so?
I have created a script that does this. It take the existing devcontainer.json and runs the container in docker. You find more information here https://blog.wille-zone.de/post/run-devcontainer-outside-of-visual-studio-code/

How to use configuration management to configure Jenkins?

I am looking for a way to add/remove/update Jenkins master environment variables using some way of configuration management.
If this can be done with Ansible even better.
Please note that I would like to avoid patching the config.xml file manually, especially because this would risk to create issues and a Jenkins restart would be required and this is to be avoided whenever is possible.
In case it was not clear, I am trying to find an automation solution for altering Manage Jenkins - Configure System - Global properties.
you can configure all your Jenkins master using groovy.
I just did the same when we upgrade to Jenkins 2.
here are some links : https://pghalliday.com/jenkins/groovy/sonar/chef/configuration/management/2014/09/21/some-useful-jenkins-groovy-scripts.html
https://github.com/DotCi/jenkinsci-dotci-example/blob/master/configure-dotci.groovy
https://gist.github.com/vrivellino/97954495938e38421ba4504049fd44ea
BTW , you can install your plugins using CLI it will save you time in the future.
and you can create all your jobs using DSL , so all changes will be in github.
if you have specific question , let me know

Using Jenkins CLI to configure plugins

I am working on installing and configuring Jenkins automatically using the Jenkins CLI. I am able to install plugins such as the Active Directory plugin, but haven't figured out how to configure it. Is it possible to perform such tasks from the CLI? From a Jenkins GUI standpoint, I'd like to check the Enable security checkbox under Security Realm check the Active Directory option, provide parameters to Active Directory, and under Authorization check the Anyone can do anything option.
I'm using a Puppet module (https://forge.puppetlabs.com/rtyler/jenkins) for the automation.
Greetings,
Kenneth
If you want to modify their configuration files manually using scripts called from the CLI, then yes.
Else, I don't believe there is. At least, not a general way for all plugins. Plugins are capable of adding CLI commands, as per this documentation page:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI
Extending CLI
Plugins installed on Jenkins server can add custom CLI commands. See Writing CLI commands for more details.
So, some of the plugins you're using may have specific commands to configure them from the CLI.
So as far as I know those are your options. Manual configuration through editing their config files, or hoping your plugin includes some commands in the CLI that is specific to it.
There is currently a new Plugin in development called "Configuration as Code Plugin" to provide a way for configuration of plugins using YAML: https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/
They are currently in an early development stage but this could help solve this kind of problem.

Jenkins - Docker integration

I'm looking for the best way to integrate Docker into Jenkins to execute build/test commands.
The best source I have found is this blog post:
http://blog.howareyou.com/post/62157486858/continuous-delivery-with-docker-and-jenkins-part-i
It basically offers to wrap all execution commands with "docker run".
I would like to see better integrations with Jenkins plugin but I couldn't find anything in this area.
Could anyone suggest a good way to proceed? Is there any project on the way to address this?
Thanks
There's a second blog post which goes into more detail about the setup. The missing piece was dockerize which makes the Jenkins & Docker integration painless. If you look into the Ruby app example, there's a Vagrantfile which will set everything up for you, use that as the starting point for your own setup.
Wouldn't you just create a shell script to setup the docker environment as you normally would (or better still push the docker container in to a private repo) and get Jenkins to pull it down and run the test suite inside docker using the daemonised mode?
Maybe you could use directory shares to drop the output of the test data so that Jenkins can read it and display?
Hopefully a point in the right direction...
This plugin might be what you are looking for.
