Monitor project development performance and delivery metrics through the software delivery activity dashboard to understand workflow execution, code development trends, and deployment patterns across components. The dashboard provides insights into component activity, development velocity, build performance, and deployment success to help identify performance issues and optimize delivery processes.
| To display builds and deployments: |
-
For GitHub Actions, add the action to register a build artifact and the action to register a deployed artifact to your workflow. Refer to Register GHA build artifacts for more information.
-
For integrated CI or Jenkins Multibranch Pipelines, configure your Jenkinsfile to add an artifact registration step and a deployed artifact registration step. Refer to Understanding CI/Jenkins integration for more information.
