Allow argus-server to create tickets in Github

argus_ticket_github

This is a plugin to create tickets in Github from Argus

Settings

• TICKET_PLUGIN: "argus_ticket_github.GithubPlugin"

• TICKET_ENDPOINT: "https://github.com/" or link to self-hosted instance, absolute URL

• TICKET_AUTHENTICATION_SECRET: Create a personal access token with the scope repo:

  {
      "token": token
  }
  

  It is recommended to create a Github API user and to ensure that that user has the necessary authorization for creating issues in the relevant repository.

• TICKET_INFORMATION:

  Project namespace and name (obligatory)

  {
      "project_namespace_and_name": project_namespace_and_name
  }
  

  To know which project to create the ticket in the Github API needs to know the owner and name of it. The owner is the user or organization the Github repository belongs to and the name is the name of the Github project.

  For the Github project Hello Git World the dictionary would look like this:

  {
     "project_namespace_and_name": "githubtraining/hellogitworld",
  }
  

  Labels (optional)

  There are two ways of automatically filling labels:

  1. Labels that are always the same, independent of the incident. These will be set in labels_set.

     {
         "labels_set" : [
             label1,
             label2,
             label3,
         ]
     }
     

  2. Labels that are filled by attributes of the Argus incident. These are set in labels_mapping which is a list of the names of the attributes as they are returned by the API (e.g. start_time). If the information can be found in the tags the it has to be a dictionary with tag as the key and the name of the tag as the value (e.g. {"tag": "host"}).

     {
         "labels_mapping" : [
             attribute_of_incident,
             {"tag": name_of_tag},
         ]
     }
