Chapter 23. Consolidated Build View Plugin

Introduction

In Jenkins it is common to create a number of jobs to implement one overall project or process. While build steps within a job must run serially on one computer, distinct jobs can run in parallel on different machines. The basic upstream job trigger in Jenkins core, as well as facilities from various plugins, let you define relationships between jobs so that builds are triggered in the correct order.

One difficulty is in visualizing the results of all these builds. The Consolidated Build View Plugin lets you quickly see which builds were run for what reason, and immediately jump to the console log for each.

The Consolidated Build View plugin was introduced in Jenkins Enterprise 13.05.
