Hi,
I am currently setting up the BFA plugin in my Jenkins instance and I really want to get some nice visualizations of how often certain build failures occur. I understand that you do not want to maintain the built-in graph visualizations.
So I have another proposal: How about supporting the Prometheus plugin by providing a Collector implementation?
Then people can generate graphs out of the metrics however they please (for example with Grafana) and even trigger alerts based on the data.
I intend to implement this functionality myself including tests. My initial research shows that I might have to reintroduce the getStatistics method that was removed here.
Would that be ok and would such a feature have a realistic chance of being accepted into the plugin?
Hi phihos: I would say that yes, go ahead. I don't see any issues in adding getStatistics back again,
it was maintaining all the graph support that was the issue, and being uncertain if it worked the way it should
after big upgrades.
This sounds like a much better way for people to set up statistics than the old one.
