aws-kinesis-consumer is a Jenkins plugin to connect to Kinesis and consume records coming from specific streams.

This plugin has global configuration only, so any features for user are not provided.

The plugin adds a "AWS Kinesis Consumer" section in the Global Configuration page:

These are the configurable parameters:

Main section

• Enable consumer: when enabled the consumer will try to connect to all the configured streams
• Region: AWS Region hosting the Kinesis stream. This parameter is optional. If set it will override any Region set in the Region Provider Chain.
• ApplicationName: prefix added to the consumer name to make sure consumer names are unique as requested by Kinesis

Advanced Options are available to use AWS Kinesis instances running on Localstack:

• Local Endpoint: HTTP endpoint for the local AWS Kinesis stack
• Shutdown timeout: maximum total time (milliseconds) waiting when shutting down Kinesis consumers. Default is 20 seconds.

Streams section

Multiple AWS Kinesis streams can be configured to listen from

• Stream name: name of the Stream to consume events from
• Initial position in stream: position to start consuming from (accepted values: TRIM_HORIZON or LATEST). This is only used before any checkpoint is taken. Once a checkpoint, this value will be ignored.
• Trigger SCM Build: If set, a build of SCM sources will be triggered upon receiving a message. If the event received contains the configured project name in the specified JSON Path Query (see next parameter), a build will be triggered for SCM sources pointing to the project.
• Project Name JSON Path query: JSON Path query to extract the project name from the event

This plugin provides an interface to listen application records coming from Kinesis.

To implement listener in your plugin, the below dependencies need to be added in your pom.xml:

<project>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.jenkins.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>aws-kinesis-consumer</artifactId>
      <version>VERSION</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

</project>

Following is the Extension Point that will have to be implemented:

io.jenkins.plugins.aws.kinesisconsumer.extensions.AWSKinesisStreamListener

1. Update the README with the release notes. Use the following oneliner to capture the changes since the last release:

> git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --no-merges
aws-kinesis-consumer-<latest_versions>..HEAD

2. Commit the README with the following message: "Prepare v<new_version> release notes". For example:

> git show  --pretty=format:"%s" -s  94398d33c4ca7f2010b01c8f6173a8c3cf79e0bf
Prepare v1.0.4 release notes

3. Perform the release (NOTE: only the plugin maintainers have permissions to publish the artifacts):

> mvn release:clean release:prepare release:perform

The artifact will be available in the Jenkins Maven repository
