      It would be nice to have a way of configuring a global notification for hung builds (probably email at a minimum).

      Right now, we would have to configure this on every builder, but I'd prefer to have an option to configure it globally.

            [BAM-4089] Allow for specification of a global notification for hung builds

            Edwin,
            It would probably help a bit, but I don't think it would solve it fully.

            Bulk-editing would only work for existing plans. If anyone added a new one, they would have to remember to set up a notification for it. I haven't seen any of screens for the new bulk-editing, but if it's like the existing Bulk Edit for permissions, there wouldn't be any simple way of seeing which plans didn't have a hanging build notification set up.

            It may just be that I see hanging builds as more of an administrative problem (as opposed to a problem to someone managing a single build plan). Almost like BAM-2489. A hanging build almost kills the build agent that is running it (since it can't do any more builds until the hanging one is killed). In our use case, our build-agents are very targeted, so a single agent being tied-up can result in a lot of builds waiting on the hanging one.

            Thanks,
            James.

            James,

            In the next release of Bamboo, we are looking at allowing bulk edit of properties across plans. One of the things you can bulk edit would be editing notification rules. Will this suffice for you?

            Cheers,
            Edwin
