Twistlock - Usage

To use the Code Coverage plug-in, the plug-in must be loaded and an instance created. Load the plug-in into the DevOps Velocity container if necessary. From the user interface, click Settings > **Integrations** > Plugins. On the Plugins page, locate the plug-in and click Load Plugin. To create an instance, locate the plug- in and click Install. The plug-in is now listed below those plug-ins to be installed and available for invoking.

To invoke the plug-in, send an HTTP Post request with the data to parse. Whenever a there is a hit to the endpoint, the data is parsed and displayed as metrics in DevOps Velocity.

Integration type

The Twistlock plug-in is a parser type plug-in. It parses data from Twistlock JSON files.

Invoking the plug-in

You can invoke the plug-in manually using a REST Call or by using a Jenkins plug-in to integrate DevOps Velocity in a Jenkins environment.

Invoke using Jenkins plug-in

Install the DevOps Velocity plug-in into your Jenkins server. In your freestyle job or pipeline use the UCV-Upload Metrics File to DevOps Velocity step and provide the required fields. This step allows your build job to upload generated coverage results files to DevOps Velocity.


pipeline {
agent any
stages {

stage('twistlockMetrics') {
steps {
step([$class: 'UploadMetricsFile',  appName: 'My
Twistlock Test', dataFormat: 'twistlockJSON', filePath: '<location of the twistlock report>', name: 'my-twistlock-test',
pluginType: 'twistlock', tenantId: '<tenant Id>', testSetName: 'twistlock', metricsRecordUrl: "``${env.BUILD_URL}``"])

}``
}``
}``
}``

Invoke the plug-in using a Rest call

When using a REST call to invoke the Code Coverage plug-in, it must be a POST method and include the location of the DevOps Velocity quality data endpoint.

The following request sample shows a REST call that you can copy and update as necessary. Key points about the snippet:


METHOD: POST
URL: https://<url_DevOpsvelocity_server>/reporting-consumer/metrics
BODY
(multipart/form-data):
{
payload: <json_object_string> // See below for schema format
testArtifact:
<twistlock_json_file>
}``

The following shows the schema for the payload. Replace the angle brackets with your values for the parameters.


{
"tenant_id": "<tenant_id>",    // required Tenant ID
"metricName":
"<metric_name>", // optional: name for recurring test set
"application": {
"name": "<application_name>"  //Name
of application
}``,
"record": {
"recordName": "<record_name>", // optional: Name for this record

"executionDate": 1547983466015, // optional: UNIX Epoch
"pluginType": "twistlock",
"dataFormat":
"twistlockJSON",
"metricsRecordUrl": "<Jenkins_build_url>" // optional: To link the Jenkins build with test results

}``,
"build": {  // Optional: One of the following fields must be included
"buildId": "<build_id>",

"jobExternalId": "<external_job_id>",
"url": "<build_url>",
}``,
"commitId": "<commit_id>",  // optional

"pullRequestId": "<pullrequest_id>", // optional
"environment": "<environment_name>" // optional
}``

Example: Invoking using Curl


curl --request POST \
--url https:///reporting-consumer/metrics \
--form
'payload={
"tenant_id": "5ade13625558f2c6688d15ce",
"application": {
"name": "My Application"
}``,

"record": {
"pluginType": "twistlock",
