argus-ticket-gitlab 1.1.1

Allow argus-server to create tickets in Gitlab

argus_ticket_gitlab

This is a plugin to create tickets in Gitlab from Argus

Settings

• TICKET_PLUGIN: "argus_ticket_gitlab.GitlabPlugin"

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

• TICKET_AUTHENTICATION_SECRET: Create a project access token or a personal access token with the scope api:

  {
      "token": token
  }
  

  It is recommended to create a Gitlab 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 Gitlab API needs to know the owner and name of it.

  To figure out the namespace visit the namespace page of the Gitlab documentation. The name is the name of the Gitlab project.

  For the Github project Simple Maven Example the dictionary would look like this:

  {
     "project_namespace_and_name": "gitlab-examples/maven/simple-maven-example",
  }
  

  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},
         ]
     }
