You can use the CloudWatch console to create alarms based on CodeBuild metrics so you can react if something goes wrong with your builds. The two metrics that are most useful with alarms are described in the following bullets. For more information about using CloudWatch with CodeBuild, see Monitor CodeBuild builds with CloudWatch.
-
FailedBuild. You can create an alarm that is triggered when a certain number of failed builds are detected within a predetermined number of seconds. In CloudWatch, you specify the number of seconds and how many failed builds trigger an alarm. -
Duration. You can create an alarm that is triggered when a build takes longer than expected. You specify how many seconds must elapse after a build is started and before a build is completed before the alarm is triggered.
For information about how to create alarms for CodeBuild metrics, see Monitor CodeBuild builds with CloudWatch alarms. For more information about alarms, see Creating Amazon CloudWatch alarms in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
