Description / Features
The plugin computes and feds Sonar with four (5) new metrics : Authors Activity, Commits / Author, Commits / Clock Hour, Commits / Week Day and Commits / Month.
Four project widgets ( under the SCM category ) display these metrics using graphical representations.
 | The "commits per author widget" displays only the top 10 authors ( list and pie chart ) |
The "Author activity" widget (available since version 0.2) displays a stacked 3D bar chart about authors activities types : New files(green), modifications(blue) , deletions(red)
The other three widgets display in a bar chart the number of commits / clock hour, week day or month.
 | The plugin also adds a project dashboard under the name SCM Stats that contains all four widgets. |
Usage, Installation and Configuration
- Install the SCM Stats plugin through the Update Center or download it into the SONAR_HOME/extensions/plugins directory
- If you plan to use this plugin with non-maven projects, or SCM access is avalable only with username/password or no SCM information is included in project's pom.xml you have to also install the SCM Activity plugin
- Restart the Sonar server
Set the SCM URL of your project (see SCM URL Format) by setting the sonar.scm.url property of SCM Activity plugin. For Maven projects this is automatically discovered if it's already set in pom.xml
- Set the SCM user / password (if needed) by setting the sonarc.scm.user.secured and sonar.scm.password.secured properties of SCM Activity plugin
- Launch a new quality analysis and the metrics will be fed
Grabbing stats for multiple periods
Since 0.2 the plugin allows the collection of SCM stats for multiple (1-3) periods. By default the plugin collects stats for the whole history ( sonar.scm-stats.period1 = 0 days ).
You can have different periods on a global or project level by setting the number of days prior to the current date that the plugin will collect scm stats.
For example to collect scm stats for the last month, enter a value of 30, for the last week a value of 7 etc.
The properties for period 2 ( sonar.scm-stats.period2 ) and period 3 ( sonar.scm-stats.period3 ) can have the value of zero(0) but the plugin will ignore it. In other words, whole history stats, will be collected only if sonar.scm-stats.period1 property is set to zero(0). Negative values are ignored for all periods.
You can edit widget properties by setting the period number (acceptable value are 1-3). By default each widget shows stats for period 1
