build history :: Pulse feature tour
Pulse retains your build history for as long as you like. You can browse and filter the history to find useful information from previous builds.
History view
Historical builds are summarised in a table. Links are provided to jump directly to all parts of the build result including the build log, changed files, tests, etc.
Browse
The web interface can be used to browse through build history pages.
Filter
Pulse allows you to filter historical results by state (success, failure etc) and/or build specification to quickly isolate the information you need.
Working copies
You can navigate through the working directory for a completed builds. Using this information it is possible to diagnose build problems by browsing for and downloading files from the working copy.
Cleanup rules
Cleanup rules allow tell your Pulse server when to perform housekeeping and to remove old build results. Working directories and whole results can be cleaned up separately. You can restrict rules to only apply to certain build states, for example you may wish to keep failed builds for longer. Cleanup rules can be applied after a set number of builds or days.
