Pipeline Executions Chart

pipeline-executions-chart

This chart provides a summary view of the overall pipeline executions done in the last 30 days and drills down into the view showing executions by pipeline jobs, which gives a good overview of your CI activities.

What It Shows?

  • Execution Count: This gives the count of each pipeline execution in the selected period.
  • Per-Pipeline Breakdown: It shows the number of executions per pipeline to give a view of high-usage pipelines.
  • Trend Insights: This visualizes daily trends in your executions and provides insight into monitoring pipeline activities over time.

Importance to DevOps​

Workload Distribution

  • Understand how the workload is distributed across your pipelines -Identify overutilized pipelines that may require either optimization or the adjustment of resources

Performance Optimization

  • Pinpoint frequently executed pipelines to prioritize for optimization Address the inefficiency in the high-usage pipelines that will obviously improve performance for the overall CI

Trend Monitoring

  • Detect changes in pipeline execution trends, such as sudden spikes or drops in usage Proactively address the anomalies in pipeline activity for stability.

Productivity within the Team

  • Give the teams actionable insights to focus on the most impactful pipelines.
  • Reduce debugging time by finding patterns or bottlenecks in pipeline executions
Using This Chart
  • Identify High-Usage Pipelines: Focus optimization on pipelines with the highest execution count.
  • Analyze Trends: Observe spikes or dips in the execution trend over time to identify anomalies or inefficiencies in the workflow.
  • Correlate with Other Metrics: Combine the execution data with failure rates or duration metrics for holistic performance analysis.
  • Alerting Configuration: Set up CICube for alerting teams in case there are significant deviations in pipeline executions.

Practical Benefits​

Efficient Allocation of Resources

  • Focus your infrastructure on the most-used pipelines.
  • Optimize runners and avoid using resources when they are not needed.

Faster Feedback Loops

  • High counts of execution might also indicate very important workflows that require streamlined processes.
  • Make the CI pipeline significantly quicker and more reliable.

Better Communication

  • Pipeline Execution Trends: Use them during discussion in retrospectives, team planning etc.
  • Relay information to stakeholders regarding workload trending and areas needing improvement
