### Problem to solve I have CI jobs which report to external resources (dashboards mainly). I'd like to provide a link from the job output or as an additional field to `artifacts` to read labeled URL(s) from a file to render on the sidebar of the job view page. ### Intended users * [Sasha (Software Developer)](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/#sasha-software-developer) * [Devon (DevOps Engineer)](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/#devon-devops-engineer) ### Further details External code coverage renderers/services (e.g., codecov.io), external dashboards collating results from external testing resources (e.g., CDash). ### Proposal Something like ```yaml jobname: artifacts: urls: path/to/url/file.txt ``` The file format is not of much consequence to me. Something simple like the `metrics.txt` is fine: ``` https://example.com/some-page Text describing the link https://example.com/some-other-page Other text ``` ### Permissions and Security No different than to run a job. Links should be rendered with `nofollow` and any other "don't follow by default" attributes to prevent crawlers from inferring endorsement or the like. ### Documentation Add documentation for the new mechanism to the CI YAML reference documentation. ### Testing Probably not that much different than other artifact testing. ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? URLs for resources associated with jobs can be rendered from GitLab. ### What is the type of buyer? CE. Doesn't seem like anything that would be enterprise-y to me. Not useful to our deployment without it being in CE (EE pricing can't work for us since we have open registration). ### Links / references
