# Pipeline Details

The **Pipeline Details** page provides a comprehensive view of a specific pipeline within Salus. Use this page to monitor your CI/CD performance, view inputs and outputs and troubleshoot issues. Below is an overview of each section to help you navigate and understand the page effectively.

## Pipeline Summary Page

The **Pipeline Summary** provides a concise overview of your pipeline’s configuration, status, and key performance metrics—extracted automatically after each **successful run** to help you monitor health and efficiency at a glance.

**Status** — the overall pipeline status. Learn more about [pipeline status types](https://salus.cloud/docs/pipelines/pipelines/#pipeline-statuses-and-what-they-mean).

**Git information**

-   Commit message
-   Branch SHA or tag title

**Pipeline trigger information**

-   Pipeline author
-   Trigger date
-   [Trigger method](https://salus.cloud/docs/pipelines/builds/)

## Pipeline Metrics

Metrics extracted from the run's stage reports

After each successful run, Salus extracts key metrics from the stage reports so you can gauge the health of the run at a glance, without reading through every report by hand.

| Metric | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Number of Failures  
(Test) | Failing tests — business logic or functional bugs where the code behaves incorrectly. |
| Number of Errors  
(Test) | Tests that crashed — broken code or tests that couldn't be evaluated. |
| Number of Vulnerabilities  
(Security) | Vulnerabilities found by the package vulnerability scanning stage. |

## Pipeline Graph

The pipeline graph, stage by stage

A **pipeline graph** is a **visual representation** of the stages and dependencies within a data or automation pipeline. It shows how data or processes **flow from one step to the next**, making it easier to understand structure, identify bottlenecks, and troubleshoot errors.

In Salus, a **pipeline graph** serves as a central tool for:

-   Visualizing **execution flow**
-   Monitoring **real-time status** of each stage
-   Exploring **metrics, logs**, and **outputs** in context

### **Nodes (Stages)**

Each **node** represents a step in the pipeline. Each node displays

-   **Stage Name** i.e. Prepare, Build, Test, Security and Deploy
-   **Status Badge i.e.** Success, Pending, Skipped, Error, Cancelled
-   **Associated Tasks** i.e. Git-clone, Build etc
-   **Action Buttons** for to navigate you to logs, metrics and deployments where applicable

### **Edges (Connections)**

The **lines between nodes** represent **dependencies** or **data flow**:

-   Linear flow (A → B → C)
-   Conditional paths (e.g., only continue if A succeeds) such as deploy stage. [_Learn how to set rules for your pipelines_](https://salus.cloud/docs/pipelines/pipeline-customization/#pipeline-rules)
    -   Parallel branches (A splits to B and C simultaneously). Only occurs if pipeline rules have been set

Reviewing findings from your pipelines will help you and your team understand, manage and control the quality of your codebase.

Findings from a stage report

## Understanding your Pipeline Summary

**Duration:** Summarizes the amount of time it takes the pipeline from the build stage to the deploy stage

**Test:** Outputs test results from the unit testing stage and summarizes the number of failures and errors.

**Security:** Outlines number of vulnerabilities found in your pipeline

## **Understanding your Pipeline’s Dependencies**

You can inspect stages and dependencies in your pipelines in the playground. Each card displays each stage, its related tasks and their real-time status.

From the playground, you can quickly navigate to each tasks logs and reports by clicking on the icons in the cards where applicable.
