Create deployments from Atlassian Bamboo

Setting up elmah.io Deployment Tracking on Bamboo is easy using a bit of PowerShell.

  1. Add a new Script Task and select Windows PowerShell in Interpreter.

  2. Select Inline in Script location and add the following PowerShell to Script body:

$ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue"

Write-Host $bamboo_buildNumber

$url = "https://api.elmah.io/v3/deployments?api_key=API_KEY"
$body = @{
  version = $Env:bamboo_buildNumber
  logId = "LOG_ID"
}
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri $url -Body $body

PowerShell task in Bamboo

Replace API_KEY and LOG_ID and everything is configured. The script uses the build number of the current build as the version number ($Env:bamboo_buildNumber). If you prefer another scheme, Bamboo offers a range of variables.
