Account metrics

The Account metrics section provides graphical information about the usage of the CodeBuild service. It provides metrics related to the number of builds executed, build minutes used, and successful and failed build execution counts. Account metrics data is provided as time series, so you can adjust the time filter to examine metrics specific to a given time period:

Figure 8.34 – AWS CodeBuild usage metrics

Account metrics allow you to understand the overall build performance and see how much time on average your build executions are taking and how many builds are failing. Based on this data you can review the build steps to ensure that you are working efficiently and not using build minutes unnecessarily, as AWS charges you on the basis of build minutes used. AWS allows you to set up build notifications to get status updates for build executions. In the next section, we’ll see how to set up build notifications.
