Adding current build status to pipeline metrics

[pvdvreede]

Would you consider adding another dimension to the pipeline metrics which is the current state of the master branch? eg CurrentBuildStatus = [0 | 1] Where 0 is success and 1 is failure. Or something along those lines?

Thanks for the q @pvdvreede! What's the problem / use case you're trying to solve here?

[pvdvreede]

I would like to have metrics in cloudwatch for people to use on dashboards to see if they have any failing builds currently, this way people can know if they need to go and fix a build without having to look at buildkite.

So I've looked into this… I think for this one, until teams is official launched and there's REST APIs for it you're going to have to do this with the GraphQL API and posting your own CloudWatch metrics sorry!

Sorry, I've confused teams and this :)

I like the idea for this… I'd be open to adding LastDefaultBranchBuildStatus with 0/1.

Our API has the required endpoints, it's the org/pipeline/builds endpoint with the parameters ?branch=master&state=finished&per_page=1

I'm not sure how to achieve it and I'm pretty sure we're the definition of an edge case, but... Please support this for more than one default branch?

We maintain multiple concurrent long term (multi year) support branches.

what's the status of this?
