I was already grouping by views per team so that solution worked great!

Thanks for your help

Another option to define a ‘group’ is to create a view in Hudson dashboard. You can specify the jobs you want in the view, then the feed for that view will contain only those jobs.
If you only want the latest status of those jobs, then use “the latest build status” feed on that view page.

Hope that helps.

If your goal is to monitor the latest status for each job, then you can add the “for just last builds” feed from Hudson dashboard (top right of the page).

If you only want a certain set of jobs, then adding the job feeds is the way to go. You can configure to display “the latest builds status” in the preference window. You’ll see the orb color for each job status. If it takes too much space on the status bar, tick the checkbox “hide feed name”.

Thanks so much for your response, I tried out your suggestion and it worked but not in a way that I was looking for. I was confused intially because I manually added http://hudson:8080/rssAll via Hudson Build Monitor preferences. I expected that from there I could select individual jobs and then have *only* the most recent status displayed with the mouse over for this limited set rather than for all. The method you suggested adds each job individually to the status bar and contains *all* the build status for that job, rather than grouping them and only providing the most recent status for a selected set of jobs. Is what I am asking for possible?

Dianna, to monitor individual jobs, please visit the job page in Hudson. Each job has its own feed (on the left area on the job page) and you can simply right click on the feed link and add it to Hudson Build Monitor. Voila, you’re monitoring just the builds from that particular job.

It would be great if there were some way to select the individual jobs to monitor. We have many jobs but only certain teams are interested in certain jobs.

I nominated the add-on for public access yesterday. Still waiting… :]

Nice Thanks.

But it’s true that it would be better to nominate it for public access.

ee,

It’s because the site places new add-ons on Mozilla sandbox (only logged-in users can add the add-on), as described here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/pages/sandbox

I’m now waiting for the first review from the users, so I can nominate the add-on for public access for the editors to review. After it passes, then everyone can add it without having to login/register.

Nice, but why must I login/register to addons.mozilla.org to install it?
