## chainctl checks stats

Summarize the outcomes of the instance's newest runs and their checks.

### Synopsis

Summarize the outcomes of the instance's newest WorkflowRuns, by repository
and by check name within a repository.

The service aggregates at most --limit runs, newest first (500 by default, at most
2000), and returns only the counts. A repository's row counts runs; a
check's row counts its jobs across those runs.

OPEN counts runs or jobs with no outcome yet, queued or running; RUNNING is
the running part of OPEN and is not added to the total. FAIL% is failed over
passed plus failed, so work that has not decided, was cancelled, errored or
was gated off (NOT_INSTANTIATED) does not move it. A fan-out check's
instances ("CHECK/ENTRY") and its fold ("CHECK") are separate rows. CONFIGS is
how many distinct authored configurations a repository's runs resolved.

```
chainctl checks stats [--sandbox-url URL] [--parent ORGANIZATION_NAME | ORGANIZATION_ID] [--limit N] [--output=json|table]
```

### Examples

```
  # The 500 newest runs
  chainctl checks stats

  # A larger sample, for scripts
  chainctl checks stats --limit 2000 -o json
```

### Options

```
      --limit int            The most runs to summarize, newest first; at most 2000. (default 500)
      --parent string        The organization or folder (name or ID) the Runs are in. Defaults to $CHAINCTL_SANDBOX_GROUP, then the default.group config value (env: CHAINGUARD_DEFAULT_GROUP).
      --sandbox-url string   URL of the sandbox control plane serving the WorkflowRuns API. Overridden by $CHAINCTL_WORKFLOWRUNS_URL. (default "https://workflowruns.chainbox.dev")
      --token string         Bearer token for the sandbox host. Overrides $CHAINCTL_AUTH_TOKEN and the chainctl session. Prefer passing it via the environment to keep it out of shell history.
