Very cool. I also didn't realize we had control over the Jenkins "views".
We currently lack a decent dashboard to monitor the build health across Beam jenkins jobs and triage failures; this is a step in the right direction. I haven't played with Jenkins views before, but it appears they can be managed via the Job DSL similar to our job definitions [1]: > The DSL execution engine exposes several methods to create Jenkins jobs, views, folders and config files. [..] It would be cool to integrate this into our job config in such a way that we could automatically keep the views up-to-date as jobs are added or renamed.
