Configuration of BitBuktReposTest

This test auto-discovers the repositories in the target Bitbucket account and for each repository, reports whether/not the repository is private and count of commit operations performed on each repository. In addition, the detailed diagnosis provided by the test reveals the record of what changes were made when and by who. This helps the account owners to keep track of the commit operations and to know if any of the changes were done by unauthorized users. This test also reveals the workload on each repository in terms of issues and pull requests. This way, the unsolved issues are brought to the immediate attention of the account owners, so that they can investigate the reason for the same and fix them. In the process, this test also sheds light on the size of each repository. Using this revelation, the account owners can instantly know whether the repository size is within the acceptable limit or has increased abnormally. If the repositories are detected to be in large size, the account owners can initiate remedial measures to prevent slowness during fetching files from the repositories.

The default parameters associated with this test are:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, specify the HOST for which this test is to be configured.

  • The port at which the host listens to is specified in the PORT text box.

  • Specify the user name and password assigned to the Bitbucket account to be monitored in the USERNAME and PASSWORD text boxes.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

  • Provide a comma-separated list of repository names that you do not want to monitor in the EXCLUDED REPOSITORIES text box. For instance, to exclude repositories with names that contain ‘ver1’ and ‘ver2’ from monitoring, your specification should be: *ver1*,*ver2*

  • The DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

    • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
