499361 - Install the QMO Bugzilla Dashboard on QMO stage

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task, P2)

Description

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

The Bugzilla Dashboard module is useful for setting up queries that will be generated automatically at cron runs. This module will help the QA team track bugs with charts according to selected bugzilla queries.

It will allow setting up bugzilla queries to run over a set period of time, at a given frequency, and pick up on specific data to display in several types of charts.

Paul, any chance to get this into 1.0 ? I think this would be helpful to the triage projects we currently launching

Comment 2

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

As you can see it currently depends on bug 503227. But in fact, I want to rewrite this module to use a separate cron (i.e. not depend on bug 503227) - so it can be more reliable on collecting data. It should be easy to do a rewrite, but we may have to delay the release a few days.
I would love to have it ready asap, so I will try! Question is: if it's not ready, should we push anyway, or delay?

I have a good idea about this. I've been working on it today and managed to get an external cron working (e.g. not tied in to the drupal cron).

However, I'm not comfortable with having this on production until we get it running on stage. That includes setting up its own cron and significant QA. We can push this early out of 1.1 if needed, but I would really like to get the other fixes out there for you guys ASAP.

So after the 1.0 push I will install it on stage and we can start working with it. If all goes well, then we can add it to our next push.

Sounds good?

Added this. I will probably need some IT help to set up the absolute path.

Comment 6

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

So I think I configured the path right, but the module doesn't seem to have permissions to create a file. IT: can you confirm? And could we create a directory called "timeplots" under "files" (wherever the files are stored, probably in sites/default/files or sites/q.m.o/files).

A test chart can be seen at:

Trying to create an xml file leads to this error:

I've created the timeplots directory and given apache write access to the files folder.

Thanks a bunch fox2mike! Verified.
I'll file you a bug for setting up its own cron, take it if you have time ;)
