Each run lands with its jobs, timings and an estimated cost, the pages add them up, and every finished run becomes a [trace](https://orochibraru.com/homerun/canary/docs/tracing) you can open as a waterfall. Bitbucket Pipelines isn't supported. A watched repository can be linked to any service, built from it or not: the service then shows the repository's runs under its own **Observability → Pipelines**, and [error tracking](https://orochibraru.com/homerun/canary/docs/error-tracking#back-to-the-source) links its stack frames to that repository's source. ## Watching a repository Open **Pipelines** and click **Watch repository**, pick one of your connected [git providers](https://orochibraru.com/homerun/canary/docs/git-providers) and a repository from it, and click **Watch**. Homerun reads the repository's runs with your connection, so you need a GitHub, GitLab or Gitea provider connected first. Services already building from that repository are linked to it right away, and its first sync is queued. From then on it's synced every five minutes. Each sync reads the latest 50 runs and fetches the jobs of every run that's new, still running, or was re-run since the last one, so a quiet repository costs one API call per sync. **Sync now** on a repository's page, or **Sync all now** on the Pipelines page, queues a sync as a background job on the [job queue](https://orochibraru.com/homerun/canary/docs/scheduling); the toast's **View task** opens its log. When a sync fails (a revoked token, a repository the connection can't see, an older Gitea, a provider that was removed), the repository's page and the Pipelines list show why, and the next sync tries again. ## The Pipelines page Over the last 30 days, across every watched repository: how many runs, the share that passed (of the runs that passed or failed; cancelled and skipped runs don't count), the median duration and the duration only one run in twenty exceeds (p95), the mean time a run waited before its first job started, billable minutes and cost, plus the cost of every stored run. Below it, each repository with the services linked to it, its own 30-day numbers and when it last synced, then every run of every repository, newest first: repository, workflow and run number, commit title, branch, commit and trigger, status, duration, time queued, job count and cost. Search matches the repository, workflow, branch, commit title or SHA; filter by status, and sort by newest, slowest, most expensive or workflow. Each run links to its page on the provider and, once it has finished, to its trace. A repository's own page has the same numbers for it alone, broken down per workflow, and its runs. ## Settings and linked services A repository's **Settings** tab: - **Sync CI runs** turns the five-minute sync on or off. **Sync now** works either way, and turning it off keeps the stored runs. - **Runner rates** set what its runs cost, see below. - **Linked services** ticks the services that use this repository. A service links to one repository at a time: ticking it here moves it from any other. - **Stop watching**, in the danger zone, deletes the stored runs and drops the link to the services. Traces already exported stay until they expire. ## Cost A job costs its run time rounded up to whole minutes, the way GitHub bills, times the per-minute rate of its runner. The rate is the first line of **Runner rates** whose label starts one of the job's runner labels (or its runner name), in order; a job no line matches costs nothing: ```text self-hosted = 0 ubuntu = 0.006 windows = 0.01 macos = 0.062 ``` That's also the default for a GitHub repository, matching GitHub's hosted runner prices; GitLab and Gitea default to no rates, since their runners are usually your own. Order matters: GitHub labels a self-hosted Linux runner `self-hosted, linux, x64`, so `self-hosted` comes first. Put a more specific line, such as `ubuntu-latest-8-cores = 0.022`, above a general one. Saving new rates re-costs every stored run. The numbers are an estimate, not your bill: included free minutes and plan discounts aren't taken into account. A re-run keeps the minutes of every attempt in the cost; its durations, queue time and trace are the latest attempt's, counted from when that attempt started. ## Traces Each finished run is exported as a trace: a root span from the moment the run was queued to its end, a span per job that ran, and on GitHub and Gitea a span per step. GitLab reports no steps, so its jobs carry their stage as an attribute instead. Spans use the OpenTelemetry CI/CD attribute names (`cicd.pipeline.name`, `cicd.pipeline.task.name`, `vcs.ref.head.revision`…) plus each span's billable minutes and cost, and their service name is `github-actions`, `gitlab-ci` or `gitea-actions`. They go through Homerun's OpenTelemetry collector, like a service's own spans, and are stored directly when the collector is off. They're filed under the first service linked to the repository, under its **Traces** even when its own traces are turned off, or under **Monitoring → Traces** when no service is linked. They expire with the [trace retention](https://orochibraru.com/homerun/canary/docs/tracing#the-collector) while the runs themselves stay on the Pipelines pages.
