Buddy

Buddy is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery platform for software developers. A webhook available in the Buddy can forward pipeline execution logs from Buddy platform to the Sumo Logic HTTP endpoint. Using these logs, you can monitor the push events along with pipeline execution start, success, failed, and finished events in Sumo Logic. For further details, refer to the Buddy documentation.

Event types

The Sumo Logic integration for Buddy ingests pipeline execution events into Sumo Logic through an outgoing webhook available in Buddy. The following event types are ingested through the Buddy webhook:

• Push
• Pipeline execution started
• Pipeline execution successful
• Pipeline execution failed
• Pipeline execution finished

To set up the Buddy integration, follow the instructions provided. These instructions will guide you through the process of creating endpoint URL of the source, which you will need to use when configuring the webhook integration in the Buddy platform.

Follow the below steps to configure the Hosted Collector to receive Buddy events:

1. In the Sumo Logic portal, create a new Hosted Collector or use an existing one. Then add a HTTP Logs and Metrics Source.
