Define & Generate KPI Reports

CodeMRI® provides the ability for a user to define key performance indicators against existing metrics in order to generate tabular and graphical report data. The input for a KPI is a yaml file. The yaml file will contain definitions for the desired KPIs and for desired metrics to be seen. To get a list of all the metrics that are available for KPI, you can type in metrics list-kpi-metrics.

To generate KPI you first select systems of which KPI information will be gathered. and then the user will set a revision date against a particular snapshot that's done by entering system config, set the revision date, and then enter a date and time. That date and time will be attached to the current snapshot.

The user can then set the path to the yaml file by entering metrics config set -o and then the file path, and then to generate the metrics. The usual initiate a job with job run and the job's name is generate KPI results output for the KPIs presented in an Excel format with chart pivot tables and slicer buttons to modify the chart. Let's take a look at one.

Here we can see an example KPI output. It's a number of tabs divided up between KPI information and metric information. And the tabs along the bottom, there's an overview tab, which includes all the information of everything that was generated. And then it's split between, ratio information and then integer information.

So, if we look at KPI percentages, you can see we have a graph listing all the information that was collected with the accompanying pivot table, and all of this is customizable. As you modify fields, the charts will change. And so, you can look at this data in any combination that you like. The same is true for the metric data with the overview, percentage information and then straight integer information. And the reason those are divided up is because looking at percentages and whole integers in a chart doesn't really make sense. It's not apples to apples. It's apples to orange. So that's an example of our KPI output.
