eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by GitHubTest

With a valid GitHub user account, you can do the following:

  • access all features and components of Git;

  • create the components such as repositories, branches and gists;

  • share repositories with other users;

  • get access to use the storage space allocated on the cloud;

  • follow other GitHub accounts;

  • collaborate with other GitHub users;

  • track the history of changes and events over time;

  • revert back your changes anytime to any version, etc.

Using this test, you can get an overview of the GitHub user account that is being configured for monitoring. In the process, this test reveals the count of private and public repositories and gists owned by the GitHub user account. In the process, this test sheds light on the disk space utilization in the user account. This helps you determine whether adequate storage space is available to ensure uninterrupted functioning of the repositories owned by the target account. Additionally, this test provides the detailed diagnosis using which you can identify the users who are currently following the target account and the users who are followed by the target account.

Outputs of the Test: One set of the results for the GitHub user account being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Public_repos Indicates the number of public repositories in the target user account. Number  
Private_repos Indicates the number of private repositories in the target user account. Number  
Public_gists Indicates the number of public gists in the target user account. Number

With gists, you can share single files, parts of files, and full applications with other users.

Public gists show up in Discover, where people can browse new gists as they're created. They are also searchable, so you can use them if you'd like other people to find and see your work. After creating a gist, you cannot convert it from public to secret.
Private_gists Indicates the number of private gists in the target user account. Number  
plan_collaborators Indicates the maximum number of collaborators who can access the repositories in the target user account. Number The value of this measure varies depending upon the type of GitHub account. For instance, if you're using GitHub Free account, you can add unlimited collaborators on public repositories, and up to three collaborators on private repositories owned by your personal account.
Plan_private_repos Indicates the maximum number of repositories that can be maintained personal to the target user account. Number  
space Indicates the maximum amount of storage space allocated for the target user account. MB GitHub doesn't have any set user disk quota and provides abundant storage for all Git repositories, although there are hard limits for file and repository sizes. Keeping repositories small ensures that our servers are fast and downloads are quick for our users.
Disk_usage Indicates the amount of storage space utilized in the target user account. MB  
Free_Disk Indicates the amount of storage space available for in the target user account. MB The value of this measure is desired to be high.
Disk_util Indicates the amount of storage space available for use in the target user account. Percent  
Collaborators Indicates the number of collaborators in the target user account. Number A collaborator is an outside user who has been granted write access to the main repository owned by the user account.
Followers Indicates the number of users who follows the target user account. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the login name, ID and type of every user who is following the user account being monitored and the URL of the follower profile.
Following Indicates the number of users who are all followed by the target user account. Number The detailed diagnosis of this measure reveals the login name, ID, type and URL of every user who is being followed by the user account being monitored.
