TFS 2010: Administrative reports

After blogging about 2 administrative reports some time ago, I have a new list with useful reports for the TFS administrator.

Microsoft released some reports that visualize the information that TFS stores about the health of the data warehouse.

These reports are useful to TFS administrators, operations/support teams, project administrators & end-users. The reports in this pack display the following kinds of information:

  • Recent processing times
  • Current status (whether the cube is processing now and, if not, when it is scheduled to process next)
  • Schema conflicts
  • Most recent time that each adapter successfully ran
Interpreting the reports

In the download, there is a FAQ document which includes screenshots of what different reports mean and common questions. The contents of the FAQ are also available at Monitoring the TFS Data Warehouse – FAQ.

Requirements
  • SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 or 2008 R2
  • A shared datasource to which you connect the report, as the installation instructions describe how to configure.
Download: AdminReportPack.zip

Download and install this report pack to the Team Foundation Server Reporting Services Instance to monitor warehouse and cube processing status.

For information about how to install this report pack, see Installing Admin Report Pack for TFS.docx that is included in the download.

The pack includes:

  • Admin Report Pack for TFS FAQ.docx
  • Installing Admin Report Pack for TFS.docx
  • Reports\Cube Status.rdl
  • Reports\Blocked Fields.rdl
  • Reports\Reportable Fields.rdl

Here’s an overview of how the reports look and what questions you can answer with them.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
