Artifactory uses evidence to provide a complete and verified picture of how a particular release came into being. A way to conceptualize this picture is by using the evidence graph, which consists of evidence artifacts, evidence subjects (in this case, packages), and the relationships between them.
To view the evidence graph:
In the Application module, select Artifactory > Release Lifecycle. The Release Lifecycle dashboard is displayed.
Click the name of the relevant Release Bundle to open the kanban board.
Click the kanban card for the relevant Release Bundle version to open its timeline.
Click the Evidence graph tab to display the evidence graph for this Release Bundle version.
The evidence graph contains the following elements:
Element | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Represents the Release Bundle version, which is the highest element in the graph. The evidence files associated with the Release Bundle appear below it. The builds associated with the Release Bundle appear off to one side with lines connecting them to the Release Bundle. | ||
Represents a build. The evidence files associated with the build appear below it with lines connecting them to the build. TipClick the card to jump to detailed information about the build version. | ||
Represents a package. The evidence files associated with the artifacts inside the package appear below it with lines connecting them to the package. TipClick the card to jump to detailed information about the package. | ||
Represents an evidence file. Each evidence file is assigned one of the following categories (predicate types):
Click the element for an evidence file to view the predicate, which contains the actual content of the evidence. For more information, see View the Evidence Predicate. | ||
| Indicates the evidence file has been verified using the public key created for this purpose. For more information, see Upload the Public Key to Artifactory. |
Click Show Evidence to display the evidence cards and Hide Evidence to hide them.
Tip
You can pan the graph left/right and up/down. Use the icons in the corner of the graph to:
Icon | Purpose | |
|---|---|---|
 | Expand all evidence | |
 | Collapse all evidence | |
| Zoom in | |
| Zoom out | |
| Refresh graph |
