How do I view queue times for Spacelift runs?
Last updated: July 14, 2025
Context
When running tasks in Spacelift, you may want to monitor how long runs spend in the queue before being picked up by a worker pool, as well as understand if queue times are included in the average run time metrics.
Answer
Currently, there is no direct UI metric to view queue times for runs in Spacelift. However, you can access this information in the following ways:
You can filter queued runs directly in the runs view to see which tasks are currently waiting.
You can create a notification policy to track queue timing data using the run_updated.timing property.
If you would like to see queue time metrics added as a UI feature, you can submit a feature request through the official feedback portal at https://feedback.spacelift.io.
