Create Splunk plugin configurations

Plugin configurations are sets of parameters that can be applied across some, or all, plugin procedures. They can reduce the repetition of common values, create predefined parameter sets, and securely store credentials. Each configuration is given a unique name that is entered in the designated parameter for the plugin procedures that use them. The following steps illustrate how to create a plugin configuration that can be used by one or more plugin procedures.

To create a plugin configuration:

Navigate to DevOps Essentials Plugin Management Plugin configurations.
Select Add plugin configuration to create a new configuration.
In the New Configuration window, specify a Name for the configuration.
Select the Project that the configuration belongs to.
Optionally, add a Description for the configuration.
Select the appropriate Plugin for the configuration.
Configure the plugin configuration parameters.
Select OK.

Depending on your plugin configuration and how you run procedures, the Input parameters Configuration name field may behave differently in the CloudBees CD/RO UI. For more information, refer to Differences in plugin UI behavior.
