Hello,
You might have noticed that in the last two weeks, you see a new job reporting when sending a patch to OST
called "ovirt-system-tests_standard-check-patch ". This is an STDCI V2 based check-patch job for OST.
We have tested it in the past 2.5 weeks on OST project to ensure the reporting is correct and accurate.
We've now come to a point where we will disable the old job in favor of the new one.

How it will affect you when sending a patch to OST:
The major advantage of STDCI V2 is the ability to run tasks in parallel. We utilize this feature in OST to run all
the suites that were affected by your change in parallel. It means that patches that change some common file
that triggers 4 suites, should finish checking now within ~30-40 min instead of ~2 hours.
Another advantage of STDCI V2 based job is that in case of a failure in a particular suite, we keep running the
rest of the suites, so when the job finishes, by looking at the results we already know exactly which suites were
affected and which are still working (unlike in STDCI V1 where the first failing suite would have failed the entire
job).
Note: suites will run in parallel on different nodes, so they won't affect each others environment.
How to debug:
Logs location
All suite logs are still collected as they used to, and located under exported-artifacts/check-patch.{suite-name}.el7.x86_64 .
Blue ocean view
You can now see a graphical representation of the suites running in parallel for your change.
At the left side menu in your check-patch job, click on "Open Blue Ocean"
Loading may take few seconds.
Let STDCI compute the relevant suites for your patch, and start running them:
If you want to download the console output from a certain suite, press the circle above the suite's name
in "Blue Ocean" view, and below the graph view, you can find the following icons:
The right rectangle will open a new window with the job's console output and be pressing the arrow you can
download it.
