About

Jenkins TL is a Jenkins plugin that allows users to gain knowledge about the execution of their pipeline builds.

Installation

• After a successful build, the packaged file is available in target/jenkins-timeline.hpi.
• In Jenkins, head to Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins and use the Upload Plugin functionality available under the Advanced tab.
• You might be prompted to restart Jenkins after installing the plugin.

Usage

The plugin adds a Build Timeline link in every Pipeline build page menu. Clicking it will open up the build timeline in a new tab.

The timeline can be opened during a build for an incremental breakdown of the job or after a build is completed for an overview of old jobs.

Helpful Resources

If you want to know more about the structure of Jenkins plugins and the Java-side of their development, you can peruse the Jenkins Wiki and the Jenkins Core API reference. You might find the API reference especially useful if you want to tinker with the Java portion of the plugin.

The web application is a standard React app. The Getting started guide for React is a great way to get up to speed with the framework.
