<h1>The Waterfall Display</h1>

<p>The Waterfall display can be controlled by adding query arguments to the
URL. For example, if your Waterfall is accessed via the URL
<tt>http://buildbot.example.org:8080</tt>, then you could add a
<tt>branch=</tt> argument (described below) by going to
<tt>http://buildbot.example.org:8080?branch=beta4</tt> instead. Remember that
query arguments are separated from each other with ampersands, but they are
separated from the main URL with a question mark, so to add a
<tt>branch=</tt> and two <tt>builder=</tt> arguments, you would use
<tt>http://buildbot.example.org:8080?branch=beta4&amp;builder=unix&amp;builder=macos</tt>.</p>

<h2>Limiting the Displayed Interval</h2>

<p>The <tt>last_time=</tt> argument is a unix timestamp (seconds since the
start of 1970) that will be used as an upper bound on the interval of events
displayed: nothing will be shown that is more recent than the given time.
When no argument is provided, all events up to and including the most recent
steps are included.</p>

<p>The <tt>first_time=</tt> argument provides the lower bound. No events will
be displayed that occurred <b>before</b> this timestamp. Instead of providing
<tt>first_time=</tt>, you can provide <tt>show_time=</tt>: in this case,
<tt>first_time</tt> will be set equal to <tt>last_time</tt> minus
<tt>show_time</tt>. <tt>show_time</tt> overrides <tt>first_time</tt>.</p>

<p>The display normally shows the latest 200 events that occurred in the
given interval, where each timestamp on the left hand edge counts as a single
event. You can add a <tt>num_events=</tt> argument to override this this.</p>

<h2>Hiding non-Build events</h2>

<p>By passing <tt>show_events=false</tt>, you can remove the "buildslave
attached", "buildslave detached", and "builder reconfigured" events that
appear in-between the actual builds.</p>

%(show_events_input)s

<h2>Showing only Certain Branches</h2>

<p>If you provide one or more <tt>branch=</tt> arguments, the display will be
limited to builds that used one of the given branches. If no <tt>branch=</tt>
arguments are given, builds from all branches will be displayed.</p>

Erase the text from these "Show Branch:" boxes to remove that branch filter.

%(show_branches_input)s

<h2>Limiting the Builders that are Displayed</h2>

<p>By adding one or more <tt>builder=</tt> arguments, the display will be
limited to showing builds that ran on the given builders. This serves to
limit the display to the specific named columns. If no <tt>builder=</tt>
arguments are provided, all Builders will be displayed.</p>

<p>To view a Waterfall page with only a subset of Builders displayed, select
the Builders you are interested in here.</p>

%(show_builders_input)s


<h2>Auto-reloading the Page</h2>

<p>Adding a <tt>reload=</tt> argument will cause the page to automatically
reload itself after that many seconds.</p>

%(show_reload_input)s

<h2>Reload Waterfall Page</h2>

<input type="submit" value="View Waterfall" />
