#Watch and notify

#What you see

A watched pipeline carries a ◉ marker in its row and a line in the footer's task area naming the stage and job it is on. You can watch several pipelines at once, and each one gets its own task line.

Polling stops the moment the pipeline reaches a terminal state, so a watched pipeline that finished leaves no poller running behind it.

#The notification

Delivery is CGO-free and uses no daemon of ours. The message names the project, the ref and the outcome, which is enough to decide whether to switch back:

labdash
platform/ingest · feat/retry-budget
Pipeline #88230 failed after 4m 12s in e2e

#What you can do

#Notification switches

Three switches live in settings:

notifications:
  onWatchedPipeline: true    # a pipeline you watched finished
  onViewFailure: false       # a view's failure count went up
  onNewTodo: false           # a new to-do arrived

Two of the three are off. The one that is on fires only for a pipeline you pointed at yourself.

#Adaptive refresh

Separately from watching, sections that contain running pipelines poll faster than settled ones. A "Failed today" section full of finished pipelines polls slowly; a "Running" section polls fast.

Each pinned view also carries its own interval, and each instance has its own concurrency cap. See Refresh and caching.

#Reduced motion

With reduced motion on, spinners become static markers and nothing animates. The task line still names what is running and what stage it reached.
