Configuring Travis CI

Travis CI is a continuous integration service that is used mostly in Github. Also, it provides free plan for open source projects. Travis CI is a hosted service, which means users don't have to host their own server unlike Jenkins. Travis CI empowers software development teams to test and deploy their code with confidence.

The IBM DevOps Intelligence Console supports your use of Travis CI. This topic describes the configuration requirements for this tool. For IBM DevOps Intelligence to sync data from Travis, you must configure a Travis account.

Access Rights: The account should have read access to the repositories we intend to sync.

the Console requires the following information for Travis:

• Name: Local account name. It could be any string and is used only for reference.
• User: Travis Host URL. eg. https://travis.domain.com
• Token: API token. Please follow the steps given in https://developer.travis-ci.com/authentication. You can also find the token in your Travis account profile, go to https://your-domain.com --> profile.

The user needs to select the Organization and respective Repo's which needs to be tracked through the DevOps Intelligence tool. For this purpose, tracking can be done at two levels:

• Organization Level: It will track all the entities of a given organization if no repo is selected.
• Repository Level: It will track builds only for those selected Repo's.

Organization Level Tracking

For this type of tracking, certain selections have to be made in the system, as follows:

• Account: Account through which the tracking is to be done.
• Organization: Select Organization Name from the dropdown. The already configured organization will be omitted from the list.
• Repository: At organization level tracking this field should be empty.

• Organization: Select Organization Name from the dropdown. The organization that was already configured will be omitted from the list.
• Repository: Select Repository name from dropdown. The repository that was already configured will be omitted from the list.
