kbmeh

Use the kbmeh command to generate an automated historical output for a given period and intervals, for example, collect metrics for last 365 days on intervals of 15 days:

kbmeh --range 365 --interval 15 --csv >> metrics.csv

Options

-r, --range         Range of time to collect metrics, in days [365]
-i, --interval      Interval to split metrics on, in days [15]

Automatic environment variables detection

You can create a .env file from which kbme will read environment variables, use this to setup a project you want constant metrics from.

Sample .env file

KBME_JIRA="http://server-url.com"
KBME_USER="Ringo"
KBME_PASS="St4r"
KBME_AUTO=15
KBME_RANGE=365
KBME_INTERVAL=15
KBME_START="2017-01-01"
KBME_FINISH="2017-06-01"
KBME_DONE="Done"
KBME_TODO="In Progress"
KBME_KEYS="ELEMENTS"
KBME_TYPES="NOT IN (Epic)"
KBME_QUERY="project IN (%keys) AND status IN (%done) AND resolutiondate > %start AND resolutiondate < %finish AND issuetype %types"
KBME_ENDPOINT="%jira/jira/rest/api/2/search?jql=%jql&expand=changelog"

Pay special attention to the query and endpoint options, they have special characters (%opt) that can be used as a template to replace by another option value.
