With this plugin, you can monitor your Hudson server from the comfort of you desktop tray, and even run programs when things change (or not).
This plugin provides the Hudson User a tool that runs on their desktop, that monitors the status of the Hudson Server (multiple servers supported), and provides a simple tray icon on the Notification Panel/System Tray, showing them the worst case colour of the Hudson Jobs they are monitoring.
Every time the colour changes, or a build changes, a popup will appear (user configurable to be disabled), informing the user of the change of colour, or if the colour has remained the same, which jobs may have joined or left the colour status.
The Tray icon can also show the worst weather across the worst jobs (showing this information is disabled by default, but can be enabled). This helps to provide further feedback about the state of the jobs being monitored.
When the user right mouse buttons on their tray, they will get a list of all the jobs that share the worst colour, and a health icon of each Job. The user can simply click on one of the jobs and that jobs Hudson page will be launched on the users default browser.:
Finally, the user can specify a system command to be executed every time the application updates the statuses, and can run specific files for almost any change in overall state. For example, you could execute a command to change the colour of an Orb when the build status worsens.
