A build is identified (uniquely keyed) on CDash by its build name, site name, and build stamp. Furthermore, a fourth optional field, subproject name is also used as part of the key on dashboards for projects that have subprojects.

Those three fields are required for a build to show up on CDash.

There should be some sort of error or warning in the cdash.log file if there's a problem processing a Build.xml file. Did you see anything in cdash.log?

The time stamps that look like 32-bit integers are Unix file time values in UTC.


HTH,
David
