Integrations

The English poet John Donne once wrote that "no man is an island", and we feel the same about software. No system exists in complete isolation, so we've made it easy for Humbug to connect to the services you already use.

With the integrations below, your team can stay up-to-date on code changes, issue tickets, build system results, and much more. So ask not for whom the notification tolls—it tolls for thee! (Or for a team member of yours, I guess.)

Getting started

Many of these integrations are available in our API download. They also require a registered Humbug user to send as. You can use your existing account, or register a new one for them. (If new email addresses are hard to come by, you can use something like wdaher+github@example.com.)

Services with integrations

{#--------------------------------------------------------------------#}

Git

First, download and install our Python bindings and example scripts on your Git server.

Next, open integrations/git/humbug_git_config.py in your favorite editor, and change the following lines to specify the email address and API key for your Git bot:

HUMBUG_USER = "git@example.com"
HUMBUG_API_KEY = "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"

You can also specify which pushes will result in notifications and to what stream the notifications will be sent by modifying the commit_notice_destination function in humbug_git_config.py. By default, pushes to the master and test-post-receive branches will result in a notification to stream commits.

Save integrations/git/humbug_git_config.py to the .git/hooks directory of your git repository.

Symlink /usr/local/share/humbug/integrations/git/post-receive into the .git/hooks directory of your git repository.

Congratulations! You're done!
Whenever you make a push to the master branch of your git repository (or whatever you configured above), the Humbug git plugin will send an automated notification that looks like this:

Testing
You can test the plugin without changing your master branch by pushing to the test-post-receive branch.

GitHub

First, go to your repository page and click "Settings":

From there, select "Service Hooks":

Select "Humbug" from the list, fill in the API key and email address for your bot, check the "active" checkbox, and pick "Update settings":

Congratulations! You're done!
When people push to your repository, you'll see a commit message like the following, to the stream commits with a subject that matches the repository name (in this case "humbug-test"):

{#--------------------------------------------------------------------#}

Jenkins (or Hudson)

Download the Humbug Jenkins plugin. To install the plugin, select "Manage Jenkins", "Manage Plugins", and then "Advanced". Under the section labeled "Upload Plugin", select humbug-jenkins-0.1.1.hpi from your computer, and upload it:

After uploading the plugin, restart Jenkins for the installation to take effect. Some versions of Jenkins have a link to restart on the "Install" tab of the "Manage Plugins" page. If your version does not, and you have access to a shell on the computer running Jenkins, service jenkins restart will restart it on a Linux system.

Once Jenkins has restarted, it's time to configure our plugin. Go to "Manage Jenkins" and then to "Configure System".

Scroll to the section labeled "Humbug Notification Settings", and specify your bot's email address, API key, and where you'd like your notification messages to go (we recommend, e.g. stream jenkins).

The other two options you might want to adjust are "Smart Notification" (do you want a message after every single build, or only after a status change?), and "Jenkins URL" -- the URL to your instance of Jenkins, so that we can link you to specific build reports.

(If you don't see the Humbug option in the list, confirm that the plugin was successfully installed by going to "Manage Jenkins", "Manage Plugins", "Installed", and confirming that "Jenkins Humbug Plugin" appears in the list. If it does not, the plugin was not successfully installed. Make sure that you have the Maven plugin installed and try again, or email support@humbughq.com for help.)

Once you've done that, it's time to configure one of your projects to use the Humbug notification plugin. From your project page, click "Configure" on the left sidebar:

Then, scroll to the bottom until you find the section labeled "Post-build Actions". Click the dropdown and select "Humbug Notification". It should look as below. Then click "Save".

Congratulations! You're done!
When your builds fail or succeed, you'll see a commit message like the following with a subject that matches the project name (in this case "Humbug Test"):

{#--------------------------------------------------------------------#}

Nagios

First, download and install our Python bindings and example scripts on your Nagios server.

Next, open integrations/nagios/humbugrc.example in your favorite editor, and change the following lines to specify the email address and API key for your Nagios bot, saving it to /etc/nagios3/humbugrc on your Nagios server:

[api]
email=NAGIOS_EMAIL_ADDRESS
key=NAGIOS_API_KEY

Copy integrations/nagios/humbug_nagios.cfg to /etc/nagios3/conf.d on your Nagios server.

Finally, add humbug to the members list for one or more of the contact groups in the CONTACT GROUPS section of /etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts.cfg, doing something like: 

define contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       admins
        alias                   Nagios Administrators
        members                 monitoring, humbug
        }
Once you've done that, reload your Nagios configuration using /etc/init.d/nagios3 reload.

Congratulations! You're done!
When your Nagios system makes an alert, you'll see a message like the following, to the stream nagios (to change this, edit the arguments to nagios-notify-humbug in /etc/nagios3/conf.d/humbug_nagios.cfg) with a subject indicating the service with an issue:

Testing
If you have external commands enabled in Nagios, you can generate a test notice from your Nagios instance by visiting using the Send custom service notification command in the Service Commands section of any individual service's page on your Nagios instance.

Troubleshooting
You can confirm whether you've correctly configured Nagios to run the Humbug plugin by looking for SERVICE NOTIFICATION lines mentioning humbug in /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log. You can confirm whether you've configured the Humbug plugin code correctly by running /usr/local/share/humbug/integrations/nagios/nagios-notify-humbug directly.

Trac

First, download and install our Python bindings and example scripts on your Trac server.

Next, open integrations/trac/humbug_trac_config.py in your favorite editor, and change the following lines to specify your bot's email address, API key, and where you'd like your notification messages to go (by default, stream trac):

HUMBUG_USER = "trac-notifications@example.com"
HUMBUG_API_KEY = "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
STREAM_FOR_NOTIFICATIONS = "trac"
TRAC_BASE_TICKET_URL = "https://trac.example.com/ticket"

Copy integrations/trac/humbug_trac.py and integrations/trac/humbug_trac_config.py into your Trac installation's plugins/ subdirectory. Once you've done that, edit your Trac installation's conf/trac.ini to add humbug_trac to the [components] section, as follows:

[components]
humbug_trac = enabled

You may then need to restart Trac (or Apache) so that Trac will load our plugin.

Congratulations! You're done!
When people open new tickets (or edit existing tickets), you'll see a message like the following, to the stream trac (or whatever you configured above) with a subject that matches the ticket name:

Additional trac configuration
After using the plugin for a while, you may want to customize which changes to tickets result in a Humbug notification using the TRAC_NOTIFY_FIELDS setting in humbug_trac_config.py.
