About the Splunk ITSI Module for Continuous Delivery

The Splunk ITSI Module for Continuous Delivery gives ITSI users insight into their virtualized computing environment by providing key performance indicators (KPIs) on the following domains:

• Project Management and Tracking
• Continuous Build Integration
• Continuous Test Integration

Release managers can use Continuous Delivery Module KPIs to track the health of a product release cycle.

Deployment requirements

The Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) Module for Continuous Delivery is supported on Splunk Enterprise version 7.0.0 and above, and has the same deployment requirements as ITSI. See Plan your ITSI deployment in the Install and Upgrade Splunk IT Service Intelligence manual.

Supported Technologies

Add-on Name	Add-on Version	Technology Name
Splunk Add-on for Bamboo	1.0.0 and above	Bamboo Server
Splunk Add-on for JIRA	2.2.0 and above	JIRA
Splunk App for Jenkins	1.0.3 and above	Jenkins

Lifecycle Identification

The Splunk ITSI Module for Continuous Delivery uses the lifecycle_id field to identify which lifecycle is attached to which event. Extraction of the lifecycle_id field depends on each user scenario and user system data capabilities.

Lifecycle user scenario	Lifecycle_id extraction example	Comments
Lifecycle from release in project management data collector (JIRA)	EVAL-lifecycle_id = fields.fixVersion	Example: "Buttercup 1.5"
Lifecycle from release in build system (Bamboo, Jenkins)	REPORT-lifecycle_id = lifecycle_id_from_release	Example: "Buttercup 1.5"
Lifecycle from release in test system (Bamboo, Jenkins)	REPORT-lifecycle_id = lifecycle_id_from_release	Example: "Buttercup 1.5"
Lifecycle from feature	EVAL-lifecyle_id = branch	Example: "feature/foo"
Lifecycle from build/test plan, build/test job	EVAL-lifecyle_id = build_job_plan	Example: "UI_TEST_PLAN"
Lifecycle from a specific time range	REPORT-lifecycle_id = lifecycle_id_from_timerange	Example: "Plan A from 10-01-2016 to 12-31-2016"
