INSTALLATION

To install this Maven plugin, please run the following command:

mvn clean compile package install

CONFIGURATION

After installation, in order to generate JSON files for Splunk to consume add the following to your POM file in the build section:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.ebay.mobile.splunklogging.plugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>splunklogging-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0</version>
        </plugin>
    ....
    </plugins>
</build>

The plugin assumes the XML file it will be converting to JSON is named testng-results.xml and is located in target/surefire-reports. The output JSON will be generated in the same directory and be named testng- results.json. These three parameters can also be configured in your POM, in the plugin's block, with the following:

<configuration>
    <fileLocation>location/on/disk</fileLocation>
	<inputFile>test-results.xml</inputFile>
	<outputFile>splunk-output.json</outputFile>
</configuration>

USAGE

Add the command line option "splunklogging:generate-json" when running Maven. For example:

mvn failsafe:integration-test splunklogging:generate-json

Your JSON will be generated and, if Splunk is monitoring that file, automatically indexed

• Note: for anyone who prefers the previous CSV format output, that command is still supported (and remains unchanged: mvn splunklogging:generate-csv )
