[Question][CI/CD] How can we stop auto collection of CI/CD metrics?

[thiDucTran]

Question

Hi, what is the correct config to use if we do not want to automatically collect deployment/builds/etc data? Referencing https://devlake.apache.org/docs/DataModels/DevLakeDomainLayerSchema#data-models, I have tried not choosing CI/CD for my data scope config...but deployment data is still being collected. Using v1beta5 with azure devops GO connection

FYI: i asked this also in slack. see https://devlake-io.slack.com/archives/C03APJ20VM4/p1714025708040129

@thiDucTran Hi, by design, the previously collected data of selected entities won't be deleted but simply skipping those related subtasks, please check if the collectApiBuilds subtask is showing in the pipeline plan JSON for the plugin

[thiDucTran]

i dont see collectApiBuilds

    [
      {
        "plugin": "azuredevops_go",
        "subtasks": [
          "collectAccounts",
          "collectApiPullRequests",
          "convertRepo",
          "extractAccounts",
          "convertAccounts",
          "extractApiPullRequests",
          "collectApiPullRequestCommits",
          "convertApiBuilds",
          "convertApiPullRequests",
          "convertPrLabels",
          "extractApiPullRequestCommits",
          "convertApiPullRequestsCommits",
          "convertApiTimelineRecords"
        ],

idk if this is an issue..and if it is a separate issue that needs its own github issue. but sharing it again from the slack thread

whenever I do a new pipeline run..i see that it changed updated_at for all of the pipeline runs to the same time (see before and after picture)

although, what is this data used for..i do not think it is used to calculate DORA? because when I go to the DORA - Deployment frequency dashboard...it's empty (as expected)...so there seems to be a difference between pipeline runs that you see in Azure DevOps dashboard versus deployments that you would see in DORA dashboards_

Weird, why there is a convertApiBuilds in the subtasks list.
It looks like a bug indeed, would you like to file it in a separate issue and we will look into it?

@thiDucTran Already effective in v1.0.0-beta6

[thiDucTran]

issue is not resolved for me in v1.0.0-beta6 ? CI/CD metrics still gets collected... I even deleted the project...purge scope's data...re-created project..made sure CI/CD is not in my scope config...colleted data..and I still see ci/cd metrics in Azure DevOps dashboard

        "plugin": "azuredevops_go",
        "subtasks": [
          "collectAccounts",
          "collectApiPullRequests",
          "convertRepo",
          "extractAccounts",
          "convertAccounts",
          "extractApiPullRequests",
          "collectApiPullRequestCommits",
          "convertApiPullRequests",
          "convertPrLabels",
          "extractApiPullRequestCommits",
          "convertApiPullRequestsCommits",
          "convertApiTimelineRecords"
        ],

i think part of the issue is that mysql data is not really removed? I still see records like this after deleting the project, clear data scope historical data, and even removing the data scope...

SELECT
  *
FROM 
  cicd_pipelines

@thiDucTran What is the value of your environment variable ENABLE_SUBTASKS_BY_DEFAULT?

[klesh]

@thiDucTran That is weird, I don't see any related subtasks in the list. Can you check the raw tables and see if the data gets purged?

[thiDucTran]

i edited my previous comment....seems data is not purged
