| # Analytics Wizard plugin |
| |
| Wizard to locally setup an Analytics Dashboard like the [Gerrit's one](https://gerrit-analytics.gerritforge.com). |
| This will allow you to explore the potentials of **DevOps Analytics** on your own repositories. |
| |
| ## What it DOES |
| * Setup a ready to use Analytics Dashboard with some defaults charts |
| * Populate the Dashboard with data coming from the repos you would like to analyse |
| |
| ## What it DOES NOT |
| * Schedule recurring import of the data, but just the first one |
| * Create a production ready environment. It is meant to build a *playground* to explore the potential of **DevOps |
| analytics** |
| * Create multiple dashboards |
| |
| # Setup |
| |
| ## Prerequisites |
| * Gerrit v2.16 |
| * [Analytics plugin](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/analytics/) |
| |
| ##Installation |
| |
| Copy the [latest available jar](https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/plugin-analytics-wizard-sbt-master-master/) into the Gerrit plugins directory and restart it. |
| Assuming `/usr/local/gerrit ` is the location of your Gerrit installation simply execute the following: |
| |
| ```bash |
| curl -o /tmp/analytics-wizard.jar https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/plugin-analytics-wizard-sbt-master-master/analytics-wizard.jar &&\ |
| cp /tmp/analytics-wizard.jar /usr/local/gerrit/plugins |
| ``` |
| |
| # How to use it |
| Once you are logged in Gerrit you can access the dashboard configuration via the top menu (`Analytics Wizard > Configure Dashboard`). |
| |
| You will land on this screen: |
| |
|  |
| |
| Different parameters can be configured: |
| * **Dashboard name** (required): name of the dashboard you are about to create |
| * **Projects prefix** (optional): prefix of the projects you want to import, i.e.: to import all the projects under the Gerrit namespace, you can specify `gerrit/`. *Note: It is not a regular expression.* |
| * **Aggregation type** (required): the data can be aggregated by `email only`, by `email per hour`, by `email per day`, by `email per month` or by `email per year`. |
| * **Date time-frame** (optional): time window you want to collect data about |
| * **Username/Password** (optional): credentials for Gerrit API, if basic auth is needed |
| |
| Once you set the parameters pressing the "Create Dashboard" button will trigger the Dashboard creation and the data import. |
| |
| *Beware this operation will take a while since it requires to download several Docker images and run an ETL job to collect and aggregate the data.* |
| |
| At the end of this operation you will be presented with a dashbaord similar to this one: |
| |
|  |
| |
| You can now navigate among the different charts and uncover the potentials of DevOps analytics! |

| # Development |
| |
| * [Project Git repo](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/analytics-wizard/) |
| * The project relies on: |
| * an [ETL data extractor](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/apps/analytics-etl) |
| * an [Analytics plugin](https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/analytics/) to expose Gerrit metrics |
| * [CI/CD](https://gerrit-ci.gerritforge.com/job/plugin-analytics-wizard-sbt-master-master/) |
| |
| To build the plugin, [JDK 1.8](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) and [sbt](https://www.scala-sbt.org/) are required. |
| Once installed use *sbt* to build: |
| ```bash |
| cd ./analytics-wizard |
| sbt assembly |
| ``` |
| |
| This will compile, test and package the plugin artifact, which can be found in `./target/scala-2.11/analytics-wizard.jar`. |
