Hermetiq documentation

Set up Hermetiq, connect Bazel and Buildbarn data, and bring build intelligence into your engineering and AI-agent workflows.

Start with one real build

Hermetiq’s in-product Quickstart generates the project-specific values and credentials your build needs. The public documentation explains the flow; Quickstart remains the source of truth for your exact endpoints and project ID.

01

Choose the deployment

Use Hermetiq Cloud or the customer-managed dashboard and project supplied by your organization.

02

Apply project setup

Use Cloud Quickstart or your administrator-provided helper and endpoints to configure the Bazel workspace.

03

Run and inspect

Run a build, then confirm it appears in Build History and open the relevant analytics views.

01

Getting started

Connect Bazel build data to Hermetiq Cloud or your own deployment, secure credentials, and verify ingestion. Continue to executor provisioning for Managed Builds.

02

Using Hermetiq

Find and group builds, inspect invocation evidence, compare runs, and interpret cache, profile, test, RBE, trend, and cost views.

03

Data sources

Understand what Hermetiq receives from Bazel, remote cache, Buildbarn, profiles, OpenTelemetry, and configured cost sources.

04

Configuration

Use project-scoped values from Quickstart for BEP ingestion, authentication, profiles, metadata, remote cache, and build grouping.

05

Integrations

Connect CAS and Bytestream, completed-action and cache telemetry, invocation logs, BEP forwarding, OpenTelemetry, and cost data.

06

Remote execution

Provision Hermetiq Managed Builds or keep your existing Buildbarn. Check workload requirements, configure Bazel, and verify a remotely executed action.

07

MCP and AI agents

Install the Hermetiq skill and MCP server for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or Codex, then query real build data.

08

Administration

Manage projects, users, roles, machine credentials, and project integrations, and understand deployment-controlled retention.

09

Deployments

Choose On-Prem Managed Builds or Intelligence, review installation requirements, and start with public Helm charts or Hermetiq deployment assistance.

10

Troubleshooting

Resolve the most common setup, authentication, profile-ingestion, MCP, remote-cache, and Buildbarn integration problems.

What Hermetiq connects

Hermetiq joins the build graph to the cache, execution, infrastructure, profile, and cost signals that explain how a build behaved.

Bazel BEP

Build and invocation identity, targets, tests, timing, status, and build metadata.

Remote cache

Cache lookups, hits, misses, action keys, and available miss-reason analysis.

Completed remote actions

Queue, input-fetch, execution, output-upload, worker, and action-level context.

Bazel JSON profiles

Build phases, critical path, parallelism, client pressure, and profile-derived insights.

Infrastructure telemetry

Configured metrics, logs, and traces from Hermetiq, Buildbarn, Kubernetes, and supporting services.

Cost sources

Cost reporting and attribution where the relevant infrastructure data is configured.
