Activity, queue, and history
The server-wide view: running builds across executors, the build queue, recent build history, and your Jenkins agents.

Activity
The Activity page shows the whole server at once:
- Running — every build currently executing, across all agents and executors. Builds running on several executors are grouped. Open one to jump to its stage graph, or stop it right there.
- Queue — waiting builds with how long they've been queued and why (blocked, stuck, waiting for an executor). Cancel queued items directly.
- Recent Builds — the newest completed builds across the server, including inside folders. The history depth is configurable in Settings.
- Pending agent approvals appear at the top of this page when an AI agent asks to run a build — see Agent run configurations.
Agents
The Agents page lists your Jenkins nodes with busy/total executor counts, labels, and what each executor is working on. Offline nodes are clearly badged with the offline reason when Jenkins provides one.
How fresh is it?
Both pages poll more frequently while you're looking at them and back off otherwise. The header shows when data was last updated, with a manual refresh always available.
