YouTrack Usage Monitoring

About YouTrack

YouTrack is a project management and issue-tracking system from JetBrains. It is used by development teams to plan projects, track tasks, and manage bug reports. Monitoring YouTrack usage is crucial for managing developer productivity and optimizing costs. This is similar to monitoring other project management platforms like Jira or GitLab.

Prerequisites

To begin monitoring YouTrack, ensure you have the following components and permissions in place:

• OpenLM Components: OpenLM Cloud Broker and OpenLM SLM are required.
• Platform-specific Requirements: You'll need administrative access to your YouTrack instance to generate a permanent token with the necessary read permissions.

Configuring data collection

Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up data collection for YouTrack in OpenLM Cloud Broker:

1. Enable API Access: In your YouTrack admin panel, create a new permanent token with read access to user and project data.
2. Add Credentials: In the OpenLM Cloud Broker dashboard, find the YouTrack integration and enter the token.
3. Verify Connection: Test the connection to ensure that OpenLM can successfully communicate with the YouTrack API.
4. Approve in OpenLM: Approve the new data source within the License Servers section.
5. See Data: Usage data for YouTrack will now be visible in the OpenLM Allocation service.

Viewing reports

Access your reports to analyze usage patterns.

• User Activity Trends: See which teams and developers are most active in the platform, helping you manage resource allocation.
• Expired/Unused License Reports: Identify inactive users and reclaim their licenses.
