Allow 'pausing' pipelines/agents

Open SomeoneWeird opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

In certain cases we want to be able to pause a pipeline, and not have any of its builds be processed until it is unpaused. (Eg. when trying to debug something, we don't want new deploy clobbering the docker containers we're working in)

It would also be nice if there was a 'global pause' that pauses all pipelines.

We've brought this up before! It'd be great to have an Andon cord to prevent running new builds. We're not sure yet how granular it should be, but I've got a prototype of a pipeline-level pause button. Maybe soon!

Also the ability to post a message explaining why this is happening.

:+1: this functionality would be great. I am looking for an easy way to stop running a pipeline via GitHub webhooks and schedules quickly. A ⏸️ button for a pipeline on the dashboard page would be perfect.

Hey @sj26 - good to see ya 😂 Just wondering if there's any plans to add this feature? Would be super helpful to be able to pause the pipelines that we use for managing deploys.
