Send parsed console output in email

Question

I am working with two Jenkins plugins, Email-Ext and Log Parser. I have the regular expressions for the Log Parser plugin how I want them, and I would like to include the o

Answer 1

If you are able to pull the logs and write into a file. You can attach that file as an attachment to your email using Email-Ext.

Answer 2

A co-worker told me that every build in Jenkins has "actions" associated with it and that Jenkins plugins do their magic via actions. I was able to find all actions of my actions with build.getActions(). I then looped through the actions until I got LogParserAction which is the action supplied by the Jenkins Log Parser plugin.

I then looked through the source code of LogParserAction.class to find the method getErrorLinksFile(). With this method I was able to get the text of the parsed log. A similar method called getWarningLinksFile() is available for the warnings and another is available for info.

I then looped through the text on \n character and applied some regexs to make it look how I wanted. Important parts of the code are below. Looks better if you view it as HTML in Notepad++
