How to configure Jenkins job log in Dynatrace

[DThakur]

In Jenkins when we trigger a job build a build_number directory created and under that directory log of that build saved and log file name is "log". How to configure Dynatrace to get Jenkins job log.

You can have a look at Log Monitoring , but I'd just send the relevant Information as events via the Event API

Is it possible to create Dashboard using event data?

[pahofmann]

Not really, but neither will you get the log data on a custom dashboard.

What is your goal, just display the Jenkins log on a Dashboard in Dynatrace?

I would like to create a Dashboard using jenkins log or event data based on status of job (Success/Failure), job execution time, stages etc.

Okay, for that I'd say the best fit is writing a small extension that collects the data you need from the Jenkins API and creates the metrics you want. You can put those on a dashboard.
