We installed and configured Check_MK to provide that type of higher level monitoring. That allowed one of the developers to write a small script that used the Jenkins REST api to count the number of build failures, and raise an alarm on the monitoring console if more than 3 of the last 5 builds failed.
He extended it further to read the threshold percentage from the job definition, so we could place an HTML comment in the job description to provide job specific thresholds if the default thresholds were not correct for that particular job. That also allowed us to have a single console which monitored many other attributes of the build systems (processor utilization, disc space, process count, network connectivity, etc.) Mark Waite On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 8:27 AM, <n...@eyequant.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > (I'm new to this list and not sure this is the right place for this > question.
