Sonargraph System Metric Extractor

This utility program takes a Sonargraph XML report and extracts all system level metrics into a JSON file (a map).

You run it by passing the XML input file as a command lines argument. The result is a JSON file containing a map that can either be stored in a file or uploaded to an instance of Sonargraph-Enterprise. It has one value for every Sonargraph system metric (more than 100 different metrics). Besides one entry for each metric it also contains 3 special keys systemId, systemName and timestamp. systemId is MD5 hash that could be used as a unique global identifier for the system. Moreover, the map contains another map named modules that contains the metrics for each of the modules of your system.

The following command line arguments can be used:

• -host=<URL of Sonargraph-Enterprise>: use this if you want to upload the result to an instance of Sonargraph-Enterprise. If you don't kind sharing metrics you can use "https://enterprise.hello2morrow.com". If this is not set a JSON file with the same name and location as the input XML file will be created.
• -org=<name of your org>: name of your organization (optional).
• -branch=<branch name>: name of the branch this report is based on (optional).
• -useId: use systemId and not systemName as identifier for your system. That only makes sense if you have a predefined Sonargraph system (optional).

After the switches you pass the name of the XML report containing the metric data.

Here is an example how to call it:

java -jar MetricExtractor-1.3-jar-with-dependencies.jar -host=https://enterprise.hello2morrow.com <name of XML input file>

That will extract the metrics from the XML report and upload it to the default instance of Sonargraph-Enterprise.
