Folks, I’m a newbie to CDash so I’m sure I’m asking a simple question, but I am stumped. On the docs for CDash I see under [Graphs](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/book/mastering-cmake/chapter/CDash.html#graphs):
> The build time graph displays the time required to build a project over time.
However, try as I might, I can’t figure out where to see that on [my new CDash](https://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=MAPL). I’d love to have a graph to tell me if build times all of the sudden increase (or decrease, I guess)

Update for myself. I mean, I think I found something. Like on this page:
[https://my.cdash.org/builds/3466080](https://my.cdash.org/builds/3466080)
I see a “Show Build Time Graph”. But it seems to be a 2-d plot of a single point?
Is this because for all my Nightly runs, the start time might be slightly off on each day?

Update for my update. I think I solved it. I’m using Github Actions for my nightly cdash. But that means the site changes each night. Should be a simple fix to pass a “static” string for the site.
