The CloudBees Unified Data plugin publishes CloudBees CI events to CloudBees Analytics.
If CloudBees CI cannot send an event to CloudBees CD/RO, for example due to a network issue, it continues to attempt to send the event periodically for up to seven days. If the plugin cannot upload an event after seven days, the plugin clears out the event queue and stops sending events until CloudBees CI is restarted or event collection is manually enabled again.
CloudBees provides an event status page to help you to keep track of the plugin’s status and ensure the connection is active. The event status also helps you to keep the upload queue under control.
