# CI/CD analytics **(FREE)**

## Pipeline success and duration charts

> [Renamed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/38318) to CI/CD Analytics in GitLab 12.8.

CI/CD analytics shows the history of your pipeline successes and failures, as well as how long each pipeline
ran.

View successful pipelines:

View pipeline duration history:

Pipeline statistics are gathered by collecting all available pipelines for the
project regardless of status. The data available for each individual day is based
on when the pipeline was created. The total pipeline calculation includes child
pipelines and pipelines that failed with invalid YAML. If you are interested in
filtering pipelines based on other attributes, consider using the [Pipelines API](../../api/pipelines.md#list-project-pipelines).

merge requests to be deployed to a production environment. This chart is available for groups and projects.

- Small lead times indicate fast, efficient deployment
  processes.

  red, dashed line.
