Can one Jenkins Trigger a job on a remote jenkins

I have 2 Jenkins hosts, and would like First Jenkins to trigger a job on remote Jenkins based on "SUCCESS" in result on the first one. I have looked at various plugins , but they all seem to indicate ONE Jenkins host, where multiple jobs can be chained in this manner.

Cloudbees supports triggering remote jobs via their Operations Center plugins.

As of operations-center-context version 1.8.0, it is possible to trigger remote jobs from a Pipeline job using the ad-hoc Remote Trigger Job function. The RemoteTriggerJob step will appear in the list of available steps of Pipeline if operations-center-context (v. 1.8.0 +) plugin is installed in the Jenkins Instance.

https://docs.cloudbees.com/docs/cloudbees-ci/latest/pipelines/cluster-triggers#_the_trigger_remote_job_pipeline_step

Example usage in declarative pipeline:

       triggerRemoteJob mode: trackProgressAwaitResult(
            scheduledTimeout: [timeoutStr: '10 minutes'],
            startedTimeout: [timeoutStr: '10 minutes'],
            timeout: [timeoutStr: '40 minutes'],
            whenFailure: stopAsFailure(),
            whenScheduledTimeout: continueAsUnstable(),
            whenStartedTimeout: continueAsUnstable(),
            whenTimeout: continueAsUnstable(),
            whenUnstable: continueAsUnstable()),
            parameterFactories: [
                [$class: 'SimpleString', name: 'MY_STRING_PARAM', value: 'Something-important'],
                [$class: 'SimpleString', name: 'OTHER_STRING_PARAM', value: 'more-important-words']],
            remotePathMissing: continueAsUnstable(),
            remotePathUrl: 'jenkins://jenkins_instance_id/path_to_job'

Note: Parameterized Remote Triggers is a Tier 3: community plugin and is not supported by Cloudbees. https://docs.cloudbees.com/plugins/ci/Parameterized-Remote-Trigger

Step 1: Install following plugins in both Jenkins.

  1. Generic Webhook Trigger: Job can be triggered from http request.
  2. HTTP Request Plugin: To send http request as build step
  3. Any Build Step Plugin: To use any build step in post-build action.

Step 2: Configure job to be triggered(Jenkins B).

Step 3: In master Jenkins(Jenkins A) configure flexible publish settings in configure system to allow use all build steps as post build actions.

Step 4: In post build actions add another step “Flexible publish”. Using this any build action can be used as post-build action. Add a HTTP Request action. Provide Jenkins B webhook url in url field and save.

It's very easy to do using cURL requests, no need for plugins or master>slave relations. It took me 5 minutes from beginning to start. Use the following manual:

Meanwhile, a jenkins plugin became available which makes it a lot easier:

Yes. Configure your Jenkins nodes and label them, say masterand slave (Manage Jenkins -> Manage Nodes).

1) Configure Job A and specify that it can only run on master ("Restrict where this project can be run" and in the label field put master).

2) Configure Job B so that it is only triggered if Job A is successful:

"Post-build Actions" -> "Trigger only if build succeeds"

3) Pin Job B to slave similar to step 1.

You could set up a downstream job on host1 that only builds if first job on host1 succeeds. In this job you would trigger a remote build much like i described it in this answer
