  • You have created a service key to your SAP Cloud ALM tenants (check this blog).

  • You should configure a Grafana data source connected to your SAP Cloud ALM tenant.

  • You have configured at least one project in your SAP Cloud ALM tenant. (check the SAP support portal)

Query


From your Grafana instance, create a query for each project to be displayed in your dashboard:

    • scopeName

    • scope





 

Visualisation


Select the "Pie Chart" visualisation with the following settings:

  • Query transformation: Select the "Rename by regex" transformation to remove the measure name of the time-series legend. (Note: As two dimensions were selected by the query, the name of the series correspond the combination the two dimensions).



 

  • Query Options:

    • Select “now/d” as relative time option in the “Query Options” panel to retrieve data of the "Today as of now" time period.








Result


The result will show a pie-chart showing the scope distribution of requirements per scope for a given project.



 

 

In the next blog, we will create a panel displaying Test Executions analytics.
