Gitlab CI Display times in job log - time

Is there a way to display times in Gitlab CI in the job log?
As shown in the image below, for some commands (I guess automated setup commands) there are times shown on the right.
Is there a way to show these times on custom script commands?
I know that I can use e.g. bashs date command. But this does not show the time difference from the initialization time plus does not look that good. Also the time-displays are present already somewhere, so I wonder if they can be used directly.

Check successfull cronjob/pgloader

im using crontab on a server to run a shell script which uses pgloader to load data into a postgresql everyday and i have bitbucket pipeline with a python script that runs every week, but i want the bitbucket pipeline only to run if the cronjob was successfull.
I thought of 2 possible ways to solve the problem:
Using hc-ping to get the status of the cronjob, but im not sure i understood the documentation of hc-ping correctly, as i understood it you can only check if crontab functions properly and not the status of the jobs itself?
Another method i thought of was to check wether the data migration with pgloader was successful or not and create a file depending on it which is used in another cronjob and get the hc-ping of that cronjob. If the file was not created then the job would fail and i could check with hc-ping that the crontab was not run.
I appreciate every help i can get.
Best regards

Laravel: How to detect if code is being executed from within a queued job, as opposed to manually run from the CLI

I found this similar question How to check If the current app process is running within a queue environment in Laravel
But actually this is the opposite of what I want. I want to be able to distinguish between code being executed manually from an artisan command launched on the CLI, and when a job is being run as a result of a POST trigger via a controller, or a scheduled run
Basically I want to distinguish between when a job is being run via the SYNC driver, manually triggered by the developer with eyes on the CLI output, and otherwise
app()->runningInConsole() returns true in both cases so it is not useful to me
Is there another way to detect this? For example is there a way to detect the currently used queue connection? Keeping in mind that it's possible to change the queue connection at runtime so just checking the value of the env file is not enough

Go CD failure message available in environment

There is a list of env variables available for GoCD at:
https://docs.gocd.org/current/faq/environment_variables.html
However I'm looking for something like: GO_BUILD_ERROR or similar.
I would like to have the failure reason or message when a build fails to pass this to an external script or message.
There seems to be nothing in the documentation.
GoCD doesn't have any such variables. The reason I feel is mostly because GoCD is very generic in terms of what commands constitute a build for a material. You might want to parse the logs manually to figure that out.
Also in the context of GoCD environment variables are used as input to the stages and not as output from them. If you're planning to build a plugin / wrapper for the commands that run consider storing them as properties in the jobs that way they can also be queried upon later if required.

How I can set up Jmeter to give me daily results

I've started using Jmeter to run daily performance tests, and have also just figured out how to produce an HTML dashboard.
What I need to do now is find a way to run Jmeter every day, producing an HMTL dashboard of the results, but with comparisons of the results of the last few days. This would mean adding to the data of existing files instead of creating a new HTML dashboard every day.
Can anyone help me with this?
The easiest solution is adding your JMeter test under Jenkins control.
Jenkins provides:
Flexible mechanism of scheduling a job
There is a Performance Plugin for Jenkins which automatically analyses current and previous builds and displays performance trend chart on JMeter Dashboard
Alternatively you can schedule JMeter runs using i.e. Windows Task Scheduler and compare the current run with the previous one using Merge Results plugin

How to aggregate build status of multie Jenkins jobs that run HP performance centre script

I have almost 50 freestyle Jenkins builds that run as many performance centre tests everyday morning and evening. Currently I am getting status of these individual runs on email but would like to consolidate the results in one e-mail. Now problem with this is output of Jenkins build is always pass when it is able to run pc tests. To find actual result I need to see the artifact that contains HTML result. Is there a way I can read these individual HTML output and group them in one report. Like
Dev test prod
Test1 pass fails pass
Test2 fail pass pass
Test3 pass pass pass
I have little programming or scripting exp so pls forgive me for not using much resources on my own
You may use build result trigger plugin to monitor as many jobs required. For consolidating use tutorial HTML Agility Pack
