Summary

If for some reason the Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket plugin becomes unavailable in the web interface, customers may want to back up its configuration before reinstalling the plugin.

This article explains where and how this data can be retrieved.

Environment

Bitbucket Server/Data Center

Solution

• The app settings are stored in the database tables STA_REPO_HOOK and STA_SHARED_LOB.

• The following SQL query can be used for finding out the LOB_ID associated with that plugin:

  SELECT * 
  FROM sta_repo_hook 
  WHERE hook_key LIKE 'com.nerdwin15.stash-stash-webhook-jenkins%';
  
  id  repository_id  hook_key                                                          is_enabled  lob_id  project_id  
  --  -------------  ----------------------------------------------------------------  ----------  ------  ----------  
  22  1              com.nerdwin15.stash-stash-webhook-jenkins:jenkinsPostReceiveHook  true        122     (null)      

  Here we can see that LOB_ID=122, so we can run this SQL query as well in order to retrieve the plugin configuration:

  SELECT * 
  FROM sta_shared_lob 
  WHERE id = 122;
  
  id   lob_data                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
  ---  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
  122  {"jenkinsBase":"http://jenkins.example.com","jenkinsEndPointType":"com.nerdwin15.stash.webhook.notifier.GitPluginNotifier","cloneType":"http","mirrorCloneUrl":"undefined","ignoreCerts":true,"omitHashCode":true,"omitBranchName":true,"omitTriggerBuildButton":true,"omitBuildsPage":true,"ignoreCommitters":"fkraemer","ignoreAccessKeys":"","branchOptions":"","branchOptionsBranches":"branch1","disabledEvents":"","urlParameters":""}  

  As can be seen, the STA_SHARED_LOB table is the one that really contains the app settings.

• A single SQL query can be used as well, by joining STA_REPO_HOOK and STA_SHARED_LOB via LOB_ID and retrieve only the LOB_DATA column which is the one that really contains the plugin settings:

  SELECT lob_data 
  FROM sta_shared_lob AS lob
  INNER JOIN sta_repo_hook AS hook ON lob.id = hook.lob_id
  WHERE hook.hook_key LIKE 'com.nerdwin15.stash-stash-webhook-jenkins%';
