Jenkins – Build Metrics
Jenkins metrics are useful to see the build and to understand how frequently they fail/pass over time.
Build History Metrics Plugin
We have “Build History Metrics Plugin”, provides the following metrics for all of the build
-

Build-metrics
We have another plugin - Build-metrics , display build stats in a graphical format
Install Plugin : Build-metrics

Once you click the Initialize stats button, Jenkins will gather all the existing build records which are already been carried out, and charts can be created based on these results.
Once you click this button, you will see a text “data successful initialized”
Create Chart
Once the data has been initialized, it is the time to create a new chart. To
create the new chart, click on “Create new chart configuration” link.
Provide details, for example

Title - give any label, I have given “Result”

Chart Width - 600
-

Chart time length - 30 days
