I have a Jenkins configuration with ~100 jobs. Whenever any of those jobs fails I want an email notification to be sent to a particular email address. How can I do this without adding a post-build action for every individual job?
There is something like Configuration Slicing Plugin https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Configuration+Slicing+Plugin. It enables global configuration different aspects

I need suggestion for Jenkins project (multi-conf or pipeline) and plugins that will fit my work.
I have 10 "flavors" of the product, so I must build 10 times every time I commit to the repository (all in the same workspace, run in sequentially). Today I have 10 jobs (freestyle) and a "master" job that trigger the rest. I tried to add Email notification (using Email Extension Plugin) but I want only one Email report for all the builds, not 10 Emails.
I understand that I should change to one multi-configuration project or one pipeline project that will handle all the builds, so it will be easier to trigger only one Email, but what is the best practice to get only one Email report on multiple builds?
This is the exact scenario which we can achieve using Pipeline job(Jenkinsfile) from which you can trigger all those freeStyle build-jobs in parallel and collect the build-url and build-status of those and store in some file, then use the email plugin in the post-build task to send the status of your complete flow.
You can use the following link to find how to access build variable post calling that inside your pipeline.
How to I get the url of build triggered with build step on Jenkins?
I am using Jenkins, Gerrit and repo for my project. Often times I make code changes that span across git repositories (all managed through repo). When I submit a CL it triggers multiple Jenkins jobs (pre-submits, cross reference checks, linters...) which sends flurry of build started emails and finally one email with +/-verified status. Wondering if it is possible to combine all the build started emails into one (just like the final verified status email)
I would suggest you to use Pipeline where only one job will be triggered as part of Gerrit trigger and the Pipeline will take care of calling all other jobs and update the Gerrit with the final message.
I would like to know if it is possible to send an e-mail notification to certain users when there is a modification to a particular directory within a repository in Stash. I know it is possible to write a shell script within Jenkins project to do this and then inform through e-mail but I would like to know if there is a native option within Jenkins configuration to this action.
This is possible within BitBucket Server itself as of May 7, 2013:
Repository subscriptions
[...] At times, you may want to receive emails on specific types of messages you care most about including:
...
Commits – when a new commit is added or a comment is left
...
See also Manage Inbox and email notifications.
You can use Poll SCM under Build Triggers section.
Define a job that uses GIT plugin, specify a workspace and machine so it'll always be synced with the latest, and poll every 2 minutes. if there is a change in the repository the job will be triggered. Add a post build action to send emails using the built in email notification or using Email-ext plugin.
Don't forget to edit the SMTP information under Manage Jenkins->Configure.
You can check Here for more information about Jenkins Polling.
I have a Matrix job (Job A) with that call build sub job (B) using Jenkins Parameterized Trigger plugin.
In the Parent Job (Mtrix) i use Editable Email Notification to trigger each configuration.
I want to get 15 lines from child job (B) build log for each configuration to add it in the email (if the build fails).
How can I do such thing ?
This plugin allows you to configure every aspect of email notifications. You can customize when an email is sent, who should receive it, and what the email says.
here is the link : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Email-ext+plugin
I have several Jenkins jobs where I want an email to be triggered (or not trigger) based on an input parameter.
The use case is that I have one deploy job per project, but that job is parametrized for each environment. We you run the job you can select which environment to deploy to (Dev1, Dev2, QA, etc). Ideally I would like to send out notification emails when a new build is sent to QA, but I do not want to send out notification emails when a new build is sent to Dev, because that happens all the time (with every developer commit) and would flood email boxes.
I've tried googling but haven't yet found a solution. I am currently using the email-ext plugin.
Thanks.
It is a very nasty way to solve the problem, but if you cannot do it by any other means...
Create a dependent job that exists primarily to pass / fail based on the value of the parameter, which would get passed as a parameter to the job. Then you could chain the decision the job made to the email notification.
Of course, if you were going to do this, it would probably be better to just write a small parametrized email sender using javax.mail and have Jenkins run it by "building" an ANT project that actually calls the "java" task. Then you have your own email sender (full control) and could make it a dependent job on the other tasks.
I hope someone chimes in with a simpler way...
In email-ext you can add a "Script - Before Build" or a "Script - After Build" trigger which will trigger on whether the specified groovy script returns true or false.
The help for the script reads:
Use this area to implement your own trigger logic in groovy. The last line will be evaluated as a boolean to determine if the trigger should cause an email to be sent or now.
They don't give many details of what's available in the script, but from the source code on Github, it looks like you have "build" and "project" at least, and some common imports done for you:
cc.addCompilationCustomizers(new ImportCustomizer().addStarImports(
"jenkins",
"jenkins.model",
"hudson",
"hudson.model"));
Binding binding = new Binding();
binding.setVariable("build", build);
binding.setVariable("project", build.getParent());
binding.setVariable("rooturl", JenkinsLocationConfiguration.get().getUrl());
binding.setVariable("out", listener.getLogger());
Caveat, I haven't tried this, but this should work as an example script:
build.buildVariables.get("MY_DEPLOYMENT_ENV") == "QA"
that should get the value of a String or Choice parameter you've created called "MY_DEPLOYMENT_ENV" and trigger the email if the current value is "QA"
