Hi Everybody, I really like Hudson CI and I do think it is the most useful and effective piece of software ever made for the Agile Application Lifecycle :-)

Anyway if the CI become unstable, the development is going to be really compromised, so keeping an eye on it is CRUCIAL !

Does anybody know about an effective solution for always monitoring it while you are "on the road" ? (maybe using your iPhone or iPod)

If you just want to check status configure it to email you when there is build failures. As for being able to view the dashboard via a browser, iPhone/iPad have web browsers.

iPad is good enough but iPhone has a too small screen for that.Moreover the e-mail is too generic and I receive an average of 150 mails/day ... do not want to receive new ones !

Hudson has an iPhone view plugin to format the Hudson web pages in a much more friendly format.

As well as email as suggested by @harschware, you could also use the Hudson Jabber plugin to send instant messages to your mobile device.

(+1) nice additional features, esp iPhone plugin... (I notice that it's really new)

Nice ! ... but I was looking for something more "dynamic" than just a iPhone friendly web page rendering.
I tried to use the iPhone view plugin, but it does not render well on my iPod. Fonts are too small and I cannot use the links.Is anybody using it ? Are you experiencing the same problems ?
The plugin works fine for me on an iPhone 3GS, with the latest iPhone OS.
