A real-time dashboard for monitoring Kata Containers nightly CI test status.

🔗 Live Dashboard: https://kata-containers.github.io/ci-dashboard/

Features

• Nightly Test Monitoring: View all nightly test results at a glance
• 10-Day Weather History: Track test stability over time (oldest → newest)
• Test Sections: Organized by category (GPU, TEE, etc.)
• Failure Details: View failed test names from TAP output ("not ok" lines)
• Direct Job Links: Click through to specific GitHub Actions jobs
• Auto-Refresh: Data updates every 3 hours

Current Sections

Section	Tests	Description
NVIDIA GPU	2	GPU passthrough tests (A100, H100+SNP)

Configuration

The dashboard is configured via config.yaml in this repository.

Config Structure

settings:
  weather_days: 10           # Days of history to show
  refresh_interval: 180      # Auto-refresh in minutes
  source_repo: "kata-containers/kata-containers"

sections:
  - id: nvidia-gpu
    name: "NVIDIA GPU"
    description: "GPU passthrough tests"
    maintainers:
      - "@username"
    jobs:
      - name: "kata-containers-ci-on-push / run-k8s-tests-on-nvidia-gpu / run-nvidia-gpu-tests-on-amd64"
        description: "NVIDIA GPU tests on A100"

fatal_steps:
  - pattern: "Run tests.*"   # Only this step counts as a real test failure

Adding a New Test Section

1. Edit config.yaml
2. Add a new section with:
   • id: Unique identifier
   • name: Display name
   • description: Section description
   • maintainers: List of GitHub handles
   • jobs: List of job configurations with exact GitHub Actions job names

Development

Local Preview

# Start local server
python3 -m http.server 8080

# Open browser
open http://localhost:8080

Manual Data Refresh

1. Go to Actions tab
2. Select Update CI Dashboard Data
3. Click Run workflow

How It Works

1. GitHub Actions workflow runs every 3 hours
2. Fetches nightly workflow runs from kata-containers/kata-containers
3. For each run, fetches individual job results
4. Filters jobs matching configured patterns (GPU, TEE, etc.)
5. For failed jobs, fetches logs and parses TAP output for "not ok" lines
6. Generates data.json with test status, weather history, and failure details
7. Commits and pushes data.json to trigger GitHub Pages rebuild

Contributing

1. Add new tests: Edit config.yaml and add job configurations
2. UI changes: Modify index.html, style.css, or app.js
3. Data processing: Modify scripts/process-data.js
