I'm trying to create a report that includes the number of days a task has been in a particular status. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
There is no way to do this inherently in Workfront. You can build something through the API that runs these calculations there are also partners you can work with to build something.
atappstore also has something they have already built here

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm still a somewhat novice dev.
I'm interested in creating a holistic view that shows the current status of every airflow job my team maintains. The point would be to simplify the view rather than having the user go into the Airflow UI to check the status. I would be interested in something along the lines of a front-end webpage that has a list of each of the DAGs and kind of a progress bar whose length depends on the number of tasks for each DAG. If a task is currently running, it would be light-green, solid green for success and red for failures. Similar to the Airflow UI but a lot simpler. I would also want the home view to show the current day with a left and right arrow to go through each day if the user is interested. Essentially it would be a airflow monitoring system for less technical users.
What would be a good way to go about this?
I'm also open to any other solutions anyone may have come up that could help with simplify monitoring a large amount of airflow jobs.
Kind of looking for some folks to help me brainstorm. Not sure if Stack is the right place for it. :)
I'll be the developer of this app so no need to pull punches as far as the technical end goes.
Currently, I'm thinking of using a standard web app where the screen will be populated by a log that I'll keep in a backend database that gets populated by a function that gets called whenever a task concludes within a DAG. The view will always show current day and whichever DAGs are scheduled to run during that day with whatever their progress is.
Airflow allows creating plugins to expose web views with FlaskAppBuilder, so you can create a view and add whatever you want in it, then add it to the Airflow UI.
Let's say you have a small project. The team has estimated all the tasks as 300 days of effort.
I have 5 developers in the team, and I want MS Project to tell me when the project will complete considering vacations and working schedule of my team member.
In order to do that:
I'm creating a Task "Development" with fixed work "300d", and task type "Fixed Work".
Then I create 5 resources, and specify a 2 week vacation for one of the developers somewhere in the middle of the schedule.
Then I assign my 5 development resources to this task.
The problem is, the 300d distributed evenly to all 5 development resources. And If one of them have a two weeks vacation in between, due to that particular resource the work will be finished 2 weeks later, where other 4 resources are sitting and doing nothing for 2 weeks. Total duration is 70 days.
what I get
What I want to get is: work is distributed accordingly through all 5 resources unevenly in a way that the whole task finishes as earlier as possible taking most of the usable time from all developers.
That's how I would expect it to work. In that particular case I was distributing hours manually.
what i would expect
Is there a possibility in MS Project to do something like this? Or am I doing something wrong?
There are a couple issues with how you are approaching the problem.
1. Rather than just planning out the manpower hours estimated to be needed for the entire project on a single line item, You should plan out the tasks that will need to be done to accomplish "Small Project"
If you discretely plan out the tasks that need to be accomplished to satisfy the scope of "Small project", you can establish dependency (predecessor/successor) relationships between your tasks and figure out what tasks need to be done before you can move on to others. When you do this it will give you a good idea of how long the total duration of the project will take and likely be more accurate than just relying on an estimate based on the manpower hours estimate your developers give you. Find out what tasks they actually need to do, not just how many hours they think the whole project will take them. This will also allow you to plan out the utilization of your resources better because you'll be able to assign specific resources to specific tasks, and not all of your resources need to be on every task.
2. In general I would avoid using the Task Usage form.
I noticed you are altering resources in the task usage form, but unless you are really experienced with Microsoft Project I would avoid ever touching that, as it's really easy to set the period of performance of resources assigned to a task to be different than the actual period of performance of the task itself. This will cause MS Project to behave unusually, and it can be hard for an unexperienced user to understand why. This usually leads to pain and frustration. This leads me to my next bit of advice:
3. If you really want to specify a resource's vacation time, it's better to adjust the calendar associated the resource to exclude those dates as working dates.
In your situation with only 5 resources on your project, this can be fairly easy to do. You can accomplish this 2 different ways (I'll start with the easiest option):
1. You can add resource specific exclusion dates to the default calendar in your project
You can accomplish this by opening the Resource Sheet table and then clicking the Project tab then Change Working Times. If you have the Resource Sheet open instead of the Gantt chart, you can specify the resource that is going to be effected by the exceptions:
In this example you can see that I would be excluding (removing) 8/23/21 thru 9/3/21 as working days for the SW Engineer resource, without needing to change the calendar used by the resource completely.
2. You can completely change the calendar used by particular resources to be different than the default calendar set for the project.
You can accomplish this by going into the Resource Sheet and opening the Base Calendar column:
From here you can assign any calendar that exists in the project to the resource. Of course this means you would need to create the calendars and assign exclusion dates to them.
To create a calendar, click the Project tab then click Change Working Times. Click Create New Calendar on the form that opens up and give it a name:
From there you can add exclusion dates and all that.
Note: In a larger project with many resources, I would recommend not messing with the calendar for the resources at all. It just gets hard to deal with when there are a lot of resources.
I'm trying to query gitlab ce api v4 to get all time spend and time estimate events. Querying issues seems to only provide current total time stats. Does anyone know how to do this?
My goal is to be able to get daily/weekly time stats for a group's projects.
I think that you can't get daily/weekly directly, but there are different solutions which already implement what you need.
This one for example: https://github.com/kriskbx/gitlab-time-tracker/tree/master/src as you can see here: https://github.com/kriskbx/gitlab-time-tracker/blob/master/src/gtt-report.js#L35 provides what you need.
I'm new to Kibana and want to create a visualization that shows percentage of unsuccessful events over time as a line chart.
I log an event for each of the cases: “Event success” and “Event error”.
Currently I have the two metrics in a single graph, but I don’t know how to calculate the percentage of unsuccessful events, i.e. count(“Event error”) / (count(“Event success”) + count(“Event error”)). Any ideas?
Kibana version: 4.1.1
We wrote a plugin for this.
https://github.com/outbrain/ob-kb-percent
All you need to do is to install this plugin.
Yes, you can go through the plugin, but sometimes there are issues in installing the plugin as it throws an error "No valid URL specified!".
Also for your this query you can try to access visual builder and calculate your unsuccessful events. Under data option in the visual builder, you can have math aggregation and try to perform your calculation.
Try this once, because this will give you graph visualization.
We usually import data from google analytics once a month and use it for some reporting needs internally. The problem is that we have to do this manually and it would be nice if we could automate the process and potentially increase the once a month routine to once a week or even daily. Our ultimate goal would be to have a tool set up to import the data automatically and store it to a csv or excel file. The output file doesn't really matter to us. As long as we can have the data pulled from GA on a regular basis without manual intervention, we'll take care of what to do with the data once it's here. We use some java based executable (found online) for this but we run this manually to extract the data.
I have looked for some solutions, even open source tools(.Net preferably, anything but java based really) but I have not really found anything. most of them require manual intervention to export data, and the best they can do is have reports generated automatically based on that data.
Our last resort would be to write up something ourselves but I would like research this a bit further and save developing/programming time. I am pretty sure someone out there has at least encounter/though of this problem.
Any help, pointers or redirection to better sources would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Have you looked into the Core Reporting API or Google Analytic's Magic Script? These would allow you to pull data into Google Spreadsheets on a regular basis. Specifically, the Magic Script will allow you to setup triggers to run a function on reoccurring time interval E.g. daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
