Release notes
There's no way to pause individual runners in a group today. You can only pause the configuration, which in turn pauses the whole group of runners. Now, you are able to pause any runners in a group.
Problem to solve
There's no way to pause individual runners in a group today. You can only pause the configuration, which in turn pauses the whole group of runners.
I am concerned that there is no specific way to handle item 2 below. If I track what the person from the fleet runner group is saying. I have a Runner Configuration which has 3 runners included in that configuration group: (see screenshot) I start having issue with System ID “s_4e1bb4caa47f”, there is currently no way to pause that System ID so it will not receive any more stages to build. I can only Pause the entire group. To me this is a bad form to manage a group of runners. I would presume that to pause a single runner I would need to login to the physical host and stop gitlab-runner on that host. Or create multiple group configurations with the same tag so I can have a single runner in each group, which I could then Pause that group effectively pausing the runner I need to work on. Or I would need to unregister that runner and then reregister it after I fixed or updated it to function correctly. If I can get clarification on how someone is to pause a single “System ID” to perform maintenance on that System without Pausing the entire Group I would be very appreciative.
Proposal
- Add a pause button to runners in a group.
Intended users
- Platform engineers managing their own runners
