Dynamic view filters with auto-populated dropdown menus, build filter columns, and parameter-based run matching for Jenkins.
Imagine you have hundreds of Jenkins jobs organized in folders, different projects, platforms, and environments. Normally you'd scroll through all of them or create dozens of separate views manually.
This plugin lets you:
- Add dropdown menus at the top of any view that automatically populate with values extracted from your job names or build parameters. Select "production" from an environment dropdown and instantly see only production jobs.
- Show only relevant build results in columns. If you filter by a parameter (e.g.,
region=east), the Status, Last Success, and Last Failure columns update to reflect only matching builds — not just the latest build regardless. - Works with all job types. The upstream
BuildFilterColumnfrom View Job Filters can break with Pipeline (Jenkinsfile) jobs. This plugin handles Pipeline, FreeStyle, Matrix, and any other job type reliably.
A custom view type extending ListView with configurable dropdown filters. Dropdowns auto-populate from job names (via regex capture groups) or build parameter values. Multiple dropdowns combine with AND logic. The filter bar can be positioned at the top or as a sidebar, and is collapsible.
Important: You must configure Include jobs by regex (e.g.,
.*) and enable Recurse in subfolders for the dropdowns to discover jobs.
A drop-in replacement for BuildFilterColumn. Wraps any standard column (Status, Weather, Last Success, etc.) and filters build data through the view's RunMatcher job filters before the delegate renders.
A self-contained column that filters builds by parameter name and value regex. No separate view-level filter required — configure the parameter matching directly on the column.
A view-level job filter implementing RunMatcher. Add it once to a view's Job Filters section and every DynamicBuildFilterColumn in that view will filter builds through it. Supports name/value/description regex, default vs. build value matching, multi-build scanning, and include/exclude modes.
| Use Case | Include Jobs Regex | Dropdown Job Name Pattern |
|---|---|---|
Jobs in projects/ folders |
projects/.* |
projects/([^/]+)/.* → extracts project name |
| Two-level: team + service | teams/.* |
teams/([^/]+)/.* → extracts team name |
| Skip a path segment | org/region/.* |
org/region/[^/]+/([^/]+)/.* → extracts 2nd segment |
| Match all jobs | .* |
(use Build Parameter source instead) |
Parameter Run Matcher examples:
| Name Regex | Value Regex | Effect |
|---|---|---|
region |
east |
Exact match on region=east |
.*region.* |
us-east-1 |
Any param containing "region" with value us-east-1 |
env |
prod|staging |
Match env=prod or env=staging |
deploy_target |
(?!nightly).* |
Exclude nightly via negative lookahead |
