Using SSH Agent credentials in Jenkins pipeline

I have a script for Jenkins Pipeline plugin. I already did git clone and maven build. But I have problems with transferring *.jar file to remote server. In Jenkins settings, I already have added configuration for a remote server using ssh key. And it works fine. But I can't understand how to use these settings in the pipeline script. I googled an example:

sshagent(['8e9cc002-f19dewiydtwe765-ecec834']) {
        sh "ssh user@server \"echo ${env.BUILD_ID}\""
    }

but I can't understand where this credentials id 8e9cc002-f19dewiydtwe765-ecec834. I can use it in other Jenkins item in section Send files or execute commands over SSH - just choose credentials from the dropdown. How to configure pipeline to use this credentials (key, passphrase, username, server address etc)?

jenkins maven ssh

That credential ID is specified manually when you create a credential, or Jenkins will build a big ugly one like that for you if you don't. You can see the ID back on the credentials page.

I always manually assign an ID so I don't have to work with those ugly ones, and so that it is a little more self-documenting in a jenkinsfile.
