Meaning of the blue time bar in Jenkins' Stage View plugin

Viewed 190

Does anyone knows how to interpret the blue bar in the stage view of the jenkins pipeline. It has definetely something to do with the times the stage consumes in different run, but what is the exact meaning and where is this feature documented?

Hopefully, anyone knows the answer to this question.

From the official link:

When you have complex build Pipelines, it is useful to be able to see the progress of each stage. The Pipeline Stage View plugin includes an extended visualization of Pipeline build history on the index page of a flow project, under Stage View.

To take advantage of this view, you need to define stages in your flow. You can have as many stages as you like, in a linear sequence.

Each row also records the build number, date it was started, and any changelog entries from a version control system. Progress bars also indicate how long each stage is taking and how long it might still be expected to take, based on historical averages.
