To show the number of deployments grouped by month, we will need a deployment report as a pre-requisite. The report should contain the statistics we are looking for, e.g. deployments by month.
| You can use the built-in report titled DeploymentsFrequency as a basis and change the interval and format to the following: |
"interval": "month", "format": "yyyy-MMM",
The report will look like this:
With the report ready to use, we can start creating a gadget:
-
Go to DevOps Insight Dashboard
-
Go to Dashboard Editor
-
Create a new gadget and provide a name, e.g. deployment by month.
-
Click "Define", fill out the widget name and title.
-
Under the "Definition" tab, choose the report mentioned above.
-
Under Visualization, choose Vertical Bar Chart or Horizontal Bar Chart.
Example chart settings:
X-Axis: Deployment_date (as yyyy-MMM)
Display X-Axis as: String
X-Axis Lable: Deployment_date (as yyyy-MMM)
Y-Axis: Deployment_date Count
Display Y-Axis as: Number
Click OK and your gadget is ready!
