Hi everyone, I use infinity data source to query a list of failed jobs. But regardless of the timeline I put in such as “last 12 hours” it will always returns all the failed jobs going back to the very beginning many months ago. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Same for list of skipped …

what does the rest api look like and does it use the timeline you choose in the rest api query? what do you see when you run the same query outside of grafana?

Hi Yosiasz, appreciate your response. I am pretty new to the CICD, Grafana and Gitlab so I really don’t know how to answer your question about rest api. I am trying to read the stats from Gitlab using the command I saw in Gitlab. I tried to run the command outside Grafana using GET command: GET -C …

I don’t think the command line works. I am investigating why. But Grafana does return the list of failed jobs but it returns all of them regardless of the time frame I choose on the top right corner of the panel such as last 12 hours or last 30 minutes. It always returns all of the failed jobs datin…

Your REST api command does not have any time parameters. If you wanted last 12 hours, 2 weeks, etc then there would be a place in the URL for the start and end. This is covered in the official documentation for Infinity. Here is a URL with date parameters that works in Infinity. https://api.mark…

Hi, I tried that and Grafana still gives me a list passed the time I specified. Below is the command inside Grafana. I use https://gitlab-us-ltd.xxxxxx.com/api/v4/projects/11/jobs?scope[]=failed&from=${__from:date:2025-03-17}&to=${__to:date:2025-03-18} [image]

Try same command outside of grafana :wink: is the timestamp UTC

I did. The same thing. I get a very long list well beyond the range I put in. Must be a bug in Grafana.

same result outside of grafana most probably means the issue is not grafana. can you share the rest api documentation that shows how to use date ranges?

Hi Yosiasz, below is the curl command I uses. The date range format I got form this forum or possibly Gitlab documentation. I didn’t get any error complaining about the format. curl -X ‘GET’ -H ‘Accept-Encoding: gzip’ -H ‘Private-Token: xxxxxxxxx’ ‘ https://gitlab-us-ltd.xxxxx.com/api/v4/projects/1…

So if that call to gitlab returns nothing outside of grafana, then the issue is not grafana.

So you have to figure out a way to maybe have an empty csv file instead of no file which causes the error
