+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1071364 +++ Wrt Bug #1071364 I would like to propose an enhancement, which however can be implemented in many ways and not necessary easily. For the Possible systems page I would like to see a column of estimated return time in human readable form (e.g. in 5 minutes, in 3 hours, etc) and be able to sort according to this. It can be calculated with some heuristics but will not be accurate 100%: - for systems which are reserved Beaker already knows when the reservation expires - for system running tasks we can take the average run time of the specified tasks from previous runs on this system (and/or others) and for that particular distro or family. The point being that the more a system is used the more accurate the prediction will become. Another possible improvement is to calculate and plot the average waiting time for tasks/distros/recipes/in general. This metrics can be used by both QE teams and IT administrators to plan systems capacity in the test lab.
This is essentially the same as bug 814371.
This won't be implemented in Beaker itself. However, we're looking at working with the Metrique developers (https://github.com/kejbaly2/metrique) to provide pre-defined analytics for cases where a Beaker instance is hooked up to a suitable data warehouse.
