near the build server, and so will work even if your Jenkins instance is in a server room or on a virtual
machine. As far as extreme feedback devices go, these little fellows are hard to beat.
Figure 8.30. A Nabaztag
And best of all, there is a Jenkins plugin available for the Nabaztag. Once you have installed the Nabaztag
plugin and restarted Jenkins, it is easy to configure. In Jenkins’s main Configuration page, go to the
Global Nabaztag Settings section and enter the serial number and secret token for your electronic bunny
(see Figure 8.31, “Configuring your Nabaztag”). You can also provide some default information about
how your build bunny should react to changes in build status (should it report on starting and successful
builds, for example), what voice it should use, and what message it should say when a build fails,
succeeds, is fixed, or fails again. Then, to activate Nabaztag notification for a particular build job,
you need to tick the Nabaztag Publisher option in your build job configuration. Depending on your
environment, for example, you may or may not want all of your builds to send notifications to your
Nabaztag.
