how to add custom report in Bamboo?

[Andrei Markov]

I would like to write a custom report for Bamboo (4.4.4 if it matters). Where do I start? Does it have to be in Java? Where can I find all interfaces I can query to get data? This link doesn't give me much to work on and this is all I could find so far:

I would like to write some like:

- agent daily usage for a specified period

- average queue length per platform (it's a requirent defined in our jobs)

- average wait time per job type (again, based on req)

Any ideas?

Until such time when I find bandwidth to learn how to write proper plugins I resorted to writing these reports by reading data directly from DB. The catch of course is that DB schema may change in the future but it was the fastest way for me to get necessary reports. I can now report how much time each agent was used each day and paint red underused ones in excel cells.

Hi Andrei,

The custom report must be written in Java, and you can use the REST API in order to retrieve data from the Bamboo instance and use it in your report:

Actually I meant a plugin style of report. Then I guess I would use a different set of APIs?
