How it is

Currently the telegraf webhooks plugin for github produces rather dumb measurements. Just extracting data from the webhook and putting it into the TSDB. The interesting data for engineering metrics you have to calculate yourself then.

How it should be

Given a set of input variables (list of accounts and labels) the plugin should calculate

• cycle time (the time between certain PRs open and deploy)
• change failure rate (the amount of opened PRs divided by the PRs with label)
• change quality (the amount of issues with priority labels)

How it would be nice

While doing this, think a more about the data models for other use-cases.
