Setup Jenkins to monitor external job

Viewed 19779

I read the part of the Jenkins wiki that covers setting up a remote job to be monitored by a Jenkins instance. However, the documentation is confusing as it doesn't tell me what to configure on the Jenkins machine or the remote machine (the one that does the job).

Further, the documentation mentions Java commands that can be fired directly and others that need a servlet container. Do I have to install a servlet container on the remote machine?

Maybe it's all there but for me it's like a mix of two documentations. Can you please clarify:

  • What do I need to do on the remote machine?
  • What do I need to do on the Jenkins machine?

Thank you.
