Hygieia: Creating Custom Collectors (Skeleton project)

[coreymeadln]

I am following the guide at the link below to learn more about creating collectors and how they work. The guide references a "sample collector project" in the Copy Skeleton Collector Project section, but I do not see the sample project anywhere in the repository. Perhaps I'm just missing something, in which case please let me know where I can find that. Otherwise, I'd love for that to be added so we have a place to start instead of scrapping everything from an existing collector.

Good sharing... I am working on Rally integration with Hygieia. But not much reference to rally integrate with hygieia. I did already long back as you provided in the read me.

Now I am in stage to store populated data from Rally system in to mongodb. Could you please provide reference code that populated data get save with MongoDB in your case.

Thanks in advance..

I've just started exploring a custom collector, so I haven't yet gotten that far to actually save data into the DB.

Briefly looking at the code, it looks like there's a save method on the Job Repositories. For instance, in HudsonCollectorTask, hudsonJobRepository.save(existing). I imagine you can use that to figure out how to save what you need.

Anyone know anything on the skeleton project? I'd love to know where it is or if it just hasn't been added yet.

Thanks!

There is no skeleton project as such, you can pick any of the existing collector , i would say pick Github collector and modify it for your need.

Ok great - thanks for the response. I would maybe suggest changing the wording on the create_collector guide since it's a little misleading. Using the Github works with me!

Thanks!

Hello! I'm new to Hygieia and currently attempting to create a custom github collector. I have gone through various articles on the same but weren't of much help on the beginner level. It would be invaluable for me if could extend any advice or sample projects on how you got your custom collector working. @coreymeadln
Thank You!
