github webhook to trigger job on multiple jenkins server

Question

My scenario:

• Single github repo
• 4 files in the repo
• 4 jenkins server

Desired outcome:

• pushing changes in file A, should trigger job in jenkins server A, pushing changes in file B, should trigger job in jenkins server B and so on.

Is there any solution for this?

Answer 1

Depending where your repository is hosted (github, gitlab, bitbucket) you might be able to use a pipeline within the repository to look for the changed files and trigger a webhook on the correct server accordingly.

Another approach could be to always trigger a special job on server A which then looks for changed files and triggers the correct job on the right server.
