Hi Akanksha, 

Jesus is teaching today. 

But having chatted to some people on #metrics-grimoire the first step is to set up an environment and play with it. To do so, you will need

• kibana and elasticsearch - packages for these should be in any distro and can be installed via apt-get or yum
• The test data sets are at http://projects.bitergia.com/xen-project-dashboard/browser/data/db/ (mailing lists and git)

There is lots of info on getting Kibana and Elastic search going and you may want to check out

• https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html
• https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/setup.html
• Connect all to the test data sets, explore and get familiar with the tools 
• Come back with some questions
• We can also make the hosted prototype versions of the dashboards available to you

Note that the SQL test data sets were created with MetricsGrimoire tools. As one of the goals is to use Perceval to do this (which has extra capabilities), you may also want to 

• Get and build Perceval from https://github.com/grimoirelab/perceval 
• Explore the test data set SQL structure with an appropriate tool 
• Read through the Perceval man pages and do some experimentation and come back with some questions

We can then work through the questions and chose appropriate next steps: but from that point onwards, we probably need Jesus' input

Regards

Lars

Hello,

My name is Akanksha and I am a third year undergraduate student from IIIT Hyderabad India. I wish to apply to the 2016 May-August round of Outreachy and GSoC 2016. I found the idea of the project "Extending the Xen Code Review Dashboard" pretty interesting and am experienced with SQL, _javascript_, HTML5, XML as required for the project. I recently started reading about Elastic Search and realised that it is indeed a pretty useful tool.

I wish to get started contributing to the project as soon as possible and request guidance on the topic.

As a part of the application process we are required to make a small code contribution as well and I would love to jump right into things at the earliest.

Regards

Akanksha
