Feature: Highlight retriggered jobs #158

I'm looking for a way to visualize display that a certain job failed, but was then re-triggered and ran successfully.


Scenario: For non-code-related reasons, a job might fail while running a pipeline, but will run through just fine later on (e.g. job performs tests against external system, external system is down for any reason --> job fails. external system becomes available again, someone re-triggers the job --> job succeeds). After this, it should still be visible that there was a hiccup, but that it has now been solved.

What I tried so far:

  • setting showRestartedJobs to false: Once the re-triggered job ran successfully, it is not visible that it originally failed. For any "late" observer of the monitor, it looks like everything ran right on the first attempt.
  • as we do not show job names by default (only on failure), I tried to find a combination where the name of the failed job and the name of the re-triggered job are both shown; but I could not find one so far.

If there's any idea on how to solve this with current available functionality, I'd appreciate it!
