We just need to make sure Hydra executes said > request in a reasonable amount of CPU time. I've attached a patch that adds status icons to the links in the expanded view. It only loads when the user clicks on "expand". We might need to add a HTTP header from the GNU server to allow loading data from external sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing I hope my commit message is OK this way. For fetching all statuses in one API call, I would like to propose adding a function to Hydra that can return the status in an array like the following JSON code: [ {"timestamp":1447890755,"buildstatus":0,"job":"a2ps-4.14.x86_64-linux","jobset":"master","project":"gnu","system":"x86_64-linux","nixname":"a2ps-4.14","finished":1,"id":812555}, {"finished":1,"id":811961,"system":"i686-linux","nixname":"a2ps-4.14","project":"gnu","jobset":"master","job":"a2ps-4.14.i686-linux","timestamp":1447890647,"buildstatus":0}, {"timestamp":1447890485,"buildstatus":0,"job":"a2ps-4.14.armhf-linux","nixname":"a2ps-4.14","system":"armhf-linux","id":811309,"finished":1,"jobset":"master","project":"gnu"}, ... ] Then I could add columns to the table with build status icons. I don't know the Hydra code (or Perl), so I wonder if anyone else has the time and wants to add the API call. Thank you, Roel
