Just open a browser on /. The page refreshes every 30 seconds with the latest
status fetched by the cron job or received via Webhook. That is,
refreshing the page doesn't cause the individual builds to be re-polled.
The layout consists of a grid of tiles representing the projects. The number of projects that need to be displayed is determined automatically.
Tiles are green for green projects, red for red projects, and light gray if the project's build server cannot be reached. If the build server is online but no builds have been run then the tile will appear in yellow. A pulsating tile indicates that a new build is currently in progress.
Each tile shows the project's brief ticker code. If not chosen explicitly, this will be the first 4 letters of the project.
To the right of the ticker and name, each project lists the amount of time since the last build, followed by the build status history. The last 5-8 builds are displayed from left to right, in reverse chronological order -- the most recent build will be on the left and the least recent on the right. Successful builds are marked with a filled in circle, and unsuccessful builds are marked with an x.
You can enter tags for a project (separated by commas) on the project edit page. You can then have ProjectMonitor display only projects that match a set of tags by going to /?tags=tag1,tag2
Striped tiles indicate the aggregate status of several projects. Click on an aggregate project to see the status of its component projects.
ProjectMonitor can display basic Pivotal Tracker information. When configured, the current velocity will be displayed, as well as a graph showing points completed for the current iteration and the past 9 iterations. To add this integration, you will need to add your Pivotal Tracker project ID and a Pivotal Tracker API key in the admin section.
