    Summary of Associate steps from GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps with JFrog

    This guide explains how ServiceNow customers can link pipeline steps from GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Azure DevOps with a connected JFrog Artifactory tool within DevOps Change Velocity. This integration enables importing artifact data from JFrog Artifactory aligned with pipeline executions, thereby enhancing traceability across DevOps data such as Work Items, Commits, Quality Summary, and Test Runs to identify root causes effectively.

    Important: Azure DevOps release pipelines are not supported. Also, build info published to JFrog must include the URL and modules or dependencies information to enable proper association.

    Prerequisites

    • User role must be sndevops.admin or sndevops.toolowner.
    • GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps tools must be connected and configured in DevOps Change Velocity.
    • Pipelines must be executed in the respective external tools to discover pipelines and steps in DevOps Change Velocity.
    • JFrog tool must be connected (in a connected state) in DevOps Change Velocity.

    How to Associate Steps

    Steps from GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps pipelines can be associated with JFrog in multiple ways, all requiring selection of connected JFrog tools only:

    • From the Pipelines tab: Select pipelines, then choose the JFrog tool to associate specific pipeline steps.
    • From the Steps table within a pipeline: Select the pipeline, navigate to the Steps with artifact association tab, and associate selected steps to a connected JFrog tool. If a step is already linked to another JFrog tool, it will be reassigned.
    • From individual step records: Directly associate a single step to a connected JFrog tool via the Artifact tool tab.
    • From the JFrog tool record: Use the Associated steps tab to select pipelines and steps to associate with the JFrog tool.

    Managing Associations

    • Each pipeline step can be associated with only one JFrog tool at a time; re-association disassociates it from the previous tool.
    • To remove associations, select the step from the associated steps tab in either the external tool or the JFrog tool record and choose Disassociate.
    • Associated steps are visible under the Associated steps tab in the JFrog tool record.

    Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

    This capability allows customers to consolidate artifact metadata from JFrog Artifactory with pipeline execution data across multiple DevOps tools, improving end-to-end traceability and root cause analysis within DevOps Change Velocity. It simplifies managing artifact associations and ensures accurate linkage between build artifacts and CI/CD pipeline steps.

    JFrog Artifactory support for GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and GitLab in DevOps Change Velocity enables you to import the artifact data published to JFrog Artifactory for the corresponding pipeline executions. This can then be linked with all the DevOps data collected in DevOps Change Velocity, like Work Items, Commits, Quality Summary, Test Runs, and so on, which helps to trace and identify the root causes.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_devops.admin or sn_devops.tool_owner

    Azure DevOps release pipelines are not supported.

    Associate steps from GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps to your JFrog tool. Before you can associate steps, you must:
    • Connect and configure your GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps tools in DevOps Change Velocity.
    • Run the pipelines in the respective GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps instances.
    • Discover pipelines and steps in the respective tools in DevOps Change Velocity.
    • Connect the JFrog tool in DevOps Change Velocity. The tool must be in the connected state.
    Important:
    • Build info must be published to JFrog along with the artifacts.
    • Build info must contain the URL and modules or dependencies information.

    Associate steps from pipelines

    1. Open the tool record page of your GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps tool and select the Pipelines tab.
    2. Select the pipelines that you want to associate with your JFrog tool.
