Missing Branches

Dawit Gebregziabher: I also see this, including for builds within the last 90 days. It appears to be because I've deleted the feature branches in GitHub after merging the PRs. Nonetheless, the logs are still available for those past builds, and it's surprising that I can't also analyze the timings of those builds. It keeps me from being able to get a good idea of the average/P95 timing of my feature branches via Insights Dashboard, because so few of the feature branches are active at a time.

Hi Dawit Gebregziabher, some branches that have had pipelines run on them within the last 90 days are missing.
Example attached shows searching for the string "prod" in the branches dropdown, but the branch "prod" not being found, even though a pipeline ran 18 hours ago. This combined with https://circleci.canny.io/insights-dashboard-feedback/p/changing-workflows-for-a-given-branch-changes-the-branch-selection-to-master makes navigating insights very clunky. It's almost easier to edit the url params directly instead of using the dropdowns to navigate

Hi Cameron Holloway, interesting. Can you provide an example of some branches that you expect to see but currently don't? We can take a look on our end.
FYI, Insights data can have up to a 24 hour delay so some branches may not show up right away if they are brand new.

Dawit Gebregziabher:
Appreciate you taking a second look at this. In the example above, the branch "prod" exists and has existed since we signed with CircleCI (at least 1 year ago), with workflows running on average at least once a day. Another example is with the branch "staging-aggs". Searching for the string "staging", notice that my staging-aggs branch doesn't appear in the drop down search. It also doesn't appear when I search for "aggs". Judging by some of the wonkiness I've seen with how the workflow and branch dropdowns work together, I'd bet that there's some strange filtering/incorrect union happening that's preventing some branches from being returned for the dropdown list.

Dawit Gebregziabher: This is unsatisfactory - my situation also involved branches that were less than a week old.

Hi Cameron Holloway, thank you for the feedback! You won't see branches in the dashboard if said branches had no pipeline run in the last 90 days. Hope this helps!
