Pipeline Graph View Plugin

!preview.png

Introduction

This plugin adds a visual representation of Jenkins pipelines, showing each stage of a run in a clear and easy-to-follow graph format. It’s designed to make pipeline progress and structure easier to understand at a glance.

Features

• Visualize pipelines as an interactive, nested graph
• Navigate pipeline stages in a clear, collapsible list view
• View logs in real time without leaving the interface
• Toggle between graph and stage views; move and resize panes to suit your workflow
• Collapse and expand individual stages with parallel branches or nested children
• Quickly access details of each step and its results
• Hide specific steps from view using the hideFromView Pipeline DSL step
• Designed for better readability and faster troubleshooting

Getting started

1. Install the Pipeline Graph View plugin
2. Go to some pipeline build page (not the job page)
3. Click _Pipeline Overview_

Stage durations

To compare how long each stage took across recent builds, and see when one got slower or faster, enable _New job page_ in your user's _Experiments_ settings. Then open _Stage durations_ from the job page's overflow menu (⋯).

See a live demonstration from a Jenkins Contributor Summit:

sh '''
    echo "##[group]Unit Tests"
    ./run-tests.sh
    echo "##[endgroup]"
'''

Sections with more than 25 lines start collapsed. Nested sections are supported. See collapsible-console-sections.md for full details including colored titles with the AnsiColor plugin.

Hiding Steps from View

You can mark specific pipeline steps as hidden from the view by wrapping them with the hideFromView step:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                echo "This step is visible"
hideFromView {
                    echo "This step is hidden by default"
                }
echo "This step is also visible"
            }
        }
    }
}
