Greetings fol
s! I wanted to
announce that€€<

d-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-eas
-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;text-decoration-lin
:underline;vertical-align:baseline">salsa-status.debian.net<
/span>€€is now up and running! This Status Page provides
both Salsa CI users and the Salsa CI developer team with visibility into CI
performance, helping identify wasteful practices, broken configurations, and
optimization
opportunities across the entire Debian package ecosystem.€€ One of the main objectives is
to
help catch wasteful CI usage, which hasn't been possible/easy before due
to lack of overview/stats.
The main features of the Salsa
CI status page are: Real-time Pipeline
Monitoring:
Pipeline stats, success rates, performance
trends, and related metrics. Project
Analytics: Detailed insights into projects€€€ CI history and con
igurations Job Type
Analysis: Insights into types of jobs running in and
on top of Salsa CI CI Stats &
Performance:
CI duration trends and resource consumption Matrix Alerts - Automated notifications for
performance degradation at https://matrix.to/#/#sal
a-stats:matrix.org€€
Quick glance of benefits for Debian/Salsa
Waste Detection
& Resource Optimization:The status page helps monitor total CI resource
consumption across all projects, identify jobs and pipelines with excessive
run times and failure rates, and track average durations to spot performance
regressions over time.€€
Problem
Identification: The
Status
Page would greatly benefit the Salsa CI Team and its users in early
identification of failures due to upstream
changes, controlled roll-outs of features, regression after merged MRs,
focused probing of job types, and in helping/encouraging projects with
failing
CI to fix them. The backend will send the alerts about such identified
issues
to the Matrix room.
Insight into
Salsa: The Salsa
Status
page will provide insight into the functioning of and load on Salsa. It
provides real-time view of reported
pipelines, their status, and run duration. With various filters in place,
developers could also narrow down searches to probe specific issues. Salsa
CI
users could look into their individual project stats and pipelines and
compare
their trends over time.<
/span>
Dashboard: The dashboard
consists mainly of 4 pages: Home page, Projects page, Pipelines page, and
Job
Types page. It is best optimized
for desktops, though you can also use it on a phone with desktop mode
enabled.€€I would encourage you to go ahead and
explore
the website since words can only say so
much ;)
Registration and privacy: Automated cron jobs fetch pipeline, job, and project data from
Salsa Gitlab API. Only projects that are public
are registered.€€Additionally, projects can
opt-out by adding `SALSA_CI_ENABLE_STATS: 0` to their CI configuration, or
reach out to delete their project€€€s pipeline stats.
osting:
Frontend: React dashboard is served at€€https://sal
a-status.debian.net Backend:
Node.js API on the same domain at /api/v1 Database: We are using TiDB
(tidbcloud.com)
**Note:
The Salsa Status page is under active
development. If you encounter any bugs or flaws, please consider overlooking
the rough edges and reporting them. Feedback and feature requests are
welcome
in this email thread or at the issue tracker at€€https://
alsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/issues/413
Thanks,
Aayush Raj
