jenkviz - visualization of a Jenkins build flow using graphviz.

Tool to crawl a Jenkins site using a build url and producing a SVG output to render the build flow.

The SVG graph displays: - A summary box with:

• the total elapsed time

• the cumulated duration for each build

• a throughput (duration/elapsed)

• number of builds

• Black arrows to render upstream and downstream relation

• Orange arrows to render downstream only relation

• Build with a blue/yellow/red/gray box for Success/Unstable/Failed/Aborted build status

Build information are stored in a local sqlite database. The database is used as a cache to not fetch twice a build page but also to get information using plain SQL:

sqlite3 ~/jenkviz.db
-- Slowest jobs
sqlite> SELECT name, SUM(duration_s), MAX(duration_s), AVG(duration_s), COUNT(1)
        FROM build
        GROUP BY name
        ORDER BY SUM(duration_s) DESC
        LIMIT 10;
-- Slave load
sqlite> SELECT host, SUM(duration_s) FROM build GROUP BY host ORDER BY SUM(duration_s) DESC LIMIT 10;

Jenkviz try to find downstream/upstream build using the web page and the REST API to work around the JENKINS-6211 bug.

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo aptitude install graphviz
sudo easy_install jenkviz
