Oh, I'm sorry :)

Prittiau was a composed of a flask server (If I remember correctly, I
couldn't find the sources), InfluxDB and a Grafana instance. The pipeline
would send a curl request[0] to our server with basic information (project
and pipeline ID) and we had a script that would follow the status until
completion and then generate some stats. Obviously only from public
projects because the only information it would have was pipeline IDs.

The original idea was to keep track of pipelines' status and detect
regressions on the CI code.

The IP where that server was running was blacklisted by Salsa admins and
we were asked to remove it from the pipeline under alleged privacy
concerns. Old email thread:

I guess something like this could be restored making it opt-in, with a
clear explaination about what it's purpose?.
