Add timestamp and test result information on dashboard

[cdbh]

Hi
As a company with large organisation scatered around the world using build reactor(very great btw) we would really like to have more information, when teams are looking at build monitors in the office.
Would it be possible to add timestamp and test result information on failed/broken builds on dashboard and also show the name of the person who claims the fix??
Thanks in advance.

Interesting request. We are using Jenkins and moving towards the pipeline system with different stages and will in the upcoming year look into improving our information radiator. Not sure yet if BuildReactor is good enough for our use case but what we would like is sort of a "Jenkins stage view" with more details from each stage.

So if a "stage" was "Unit test" it would not just show pass or fail but also how many tests passed or failed. If a stage was "Static code analysis" it would show how many suggestions/warnings/errors the tool had found on the information radiator. I'm not sure yet if this is wise to do or it will just be information overload but our ideas are similiar so wanted to add my take on it.

For more complex dashboards it would be better to write your own, BuildReactor was written to create simple dashboard within minutes that works with various CI servers.
Some extra information could be added fairly easily if it's supported by most CI servers (like time stamp, build number, etc.) but there is currently no concept of pipelines and stages build-in.
As more servers start to support pipelines, that will eventually be added, but no plans for that at the moment.

@AdamNowotny Yea, a custom one is what I'm leaning towards as well.
