Result Watcher

The Result Watcher is a Kubernetes Controller that watches for changes to certain Tekton types and automatically creates/updates their data in the Result API.

Supported Types

The Watcher currently supports the following types:

• tekton.dev/v1beta1 TaskRun
• tekton.dev/v1beta1 PipelineRun

Result Grouping

The Watcher uses Object data to automatically detect and group related Records into the same Result. The following data is checked (listed in order of precedence):

• results.tekton.dev/result annotation. This should correspond to the full Result.name identifier (e.g. foo/results/bar).
• triggers.tekton.dev/triggers-eventid label (this is generated from Objects created via Tekton Triggers)
• An OwnerReference to a PipelineRun.

If no annotation is detected, the Watcher will automatically generate a new Result name for the Object.
