Team Foundation Server 2012 Health monitoring

In previous versions of TFS, I used some Administrative reports to monitor the health of TFS. In TFS 2012, some reporting is built-in, although well hidden inside the TFS Web Access.

To access this information browse to the following URL: http://{servername}/tfs/_oi/. This will open up the TFS Control Panel with 2 tabs:

  • Activity Log: Shows you a list of recent actions
  • Job monitoring: Allows you track all TFS jobs, their execution time and the current job queue

Activity Log

The Activity log can be filtered by Team Project Collection and user. Results can be exported to CSV for further processing.

Job Monitoring

The Job Monitoring is further split into 3 sections:

  • Job Summary
  • Job Queue
  • Job History

The Job Summary contains the following reports:

  • Total Run Time For Each Job: displays total amount of run time a particular job has taken over the time period.

TotalRunTimeForEachJob

  • Results Count: displays the number of different result types over the time period.

ResultsCount

  • Number Of Jobs Run: displays the number of times a job has run combined with the number of result types for that particular job.

NumberOfJobsRun

The Job Queue contains the following reports:

  • Job Queue Types: describes the job queue; it provides the counts for each queue type.

JobQueueTypes

  • Job Queue Details:  list of job queue entries for the specific type.

The Job History contains the following reports:

  • Average Run and Queue Time With Total Number of Jobs: combines the average queue time and run time for jobs; you can also view how many jobs were run at each hour.

AverageRunAndQueueTime

  • Job History: shows the job history results over the stated period of time (up to 500 entries).

.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...
