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 [--version] [--logfile=LOGFILE] [--database=DATABASE] COMMAND [OPTIONS] ARGUMENTS

jenkviz -h

crawl [--direct--explore] [--output SVG_FILE] JENKINS_BUILD_URL

The --direct option shows only downstream and upstream relation, removing downstream only link.

The --reverse option crawl backward using upstream builds.

The --explore option to keep downstream builds that have upstream build out of the scope of the origin build (the upstream build is not a descendant of the root build)

jenkviz crawl http://jenkins.site/jenkviz/job_name/42/

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

Jenkviz is currently hosted at github.
