We have a large number of jobs that run for several hours, but the amount of deviation between each job's duration can be as much as several hours depending on overall load. It would be far more interesting to get the average duration of the job, which surprisingly isn't available in Jenkins. Could such a column be added via this plugin instead?
[JENKINS-20361] New Column Request: Average Build Duration
Fred G
added a comment - This has been fixed in version 1.12.

added a comment - What is the logic it uses when calculating the average? Does it only look at the past x number of builds, or does it look at all past jobs until it finds one that failed?

added a comment - I'm actually calling
Util.getTimeSpanString(job.getLastBuild().getEstimatedDuration());
which calls
hudson.model.Job.getEstimatedDurationCandidates()
down the line.
The JavaDoc of getEstimatedDurationCandidates() says:
/** * Returns candidate build for calculating the estimated duration of the current run. * * Returns the 3 last successful (stable or unstable) builds, if there are any. * Failing to find 3 of those, it will return up to 3 last unsuccessful builds. * * In any case it will not go more than 6 builds into the past to avoid costly build loading. */
