== Project Description ==

The BuildAPI project consists of generating analytic reports which can be used for a multitude of purposes such as performance and usage tests or discovering rogue buildbot slave machines. Moreover, it will require querying a database for the information on the BuildBot jobs, which will then be used to generate the necessary reports.

== Project Contributor(s) ==

* [[User:Armenzg|Armenzg]]

* It will be used for purposes such as:

:* identifying critical machines that should not be processing jobs

:* discovering rogue slaves

* This project uses Pylons framework:

** Armen suggested that one student works on the first graph, and the other works on the second graph

** We will also be working on the documentation

== Project Plan ==

** Set up BuildAPI and be able to run the Paste server to use the pre-existing BuildAPI controllers

** Create my '''own''' script that can generate a simple graph or to be able to pull information from a database

* 0.2

* 0.3

** Be able to generate graphs, charts and CSVs from one of the databases based on CPU load and infrastructure load.

== What Needs to be Learned ==

* BuildAPI database structure

* How to integrate GoogleAPI or another charting system with Pylons

== Accomplishments ==

* Able to run in from both regularly and from a python virtual environment (used for testing)

* Created my own test script using a controller to display information from a selected table in the schedulerdb database

== Issues ==

* Will seek help

* '''I would also like to set up Pylons to be accessible on iraq.proximity.on.ca, which I understand can be done through several methods such as through http_proxy (Apache web server) - thus will also check with Chris Tyler and other regarding this'''
