Create an admin view for all currently active runs in a server instance

[sschuberth]

As an admin for a whole instance, I'd like to quickly get an overview over the runs that are currently active in any organization on that instance. It's basically a runs overview page that is not limited to a single repository.

Similarly, probably such overview pages would also be useful on product and organization levels, for admins for those levels respectively.

The main use-case is not to estimate the load on the server, but to get an overview when multiple runs triggered in different organization / products are finished.

As a note, such overview pages should probably be filterable by the user who triggered the run.

Do you think it would be more beneficial to just see the active runs, so something like this:

Or maybe to see all runs, but have the possibility to filter by status:

Do you think it would be more beneficial to just see the active runs

Originally I was just thinking about active runs, but now that you suggest it, I guess being able to globally filter all runs also could be nice, e.g. to identify jobs that took exceptionally long across all orgs.

In any case, I believe only showing active runs would be a good default filter.

What do @mmurto and @mnonnenmacher think?

[mnonnenmacher]

I think the endpoint was already implemented so that you can filter by statuts, so I would definitely also support that in the UI. Regarding the default filter I have no strong opinion, but a tendency towards setting none, otherwise the view would often be empty for not so active instances.

I feel no default filter makes sense, I think it gives a better overview at a glance on what has happened as well as the currently running jobs.

I don't think that having an empty view in such cases would be a problem, but I also have no strong opinion here, just a personal preference for my use-case to watch active runs / server load.

For that a Grafana board works better, like:
