Configuring Metadata

====================

.. contents::

This document describes the purpose of metadata and how is being used in helium and

how it can be used by the customer.

Overview

========

Metadata is process to find the errors, warnings from the output log differnt section of the build

and store it to the database, which could be used during each stage of the build to process efficiently

and send details to diamonds, used for signaling, and generating summary file.

Metadata Details

================

1. Metadatarecord : Which is used to store the errors, warnings information to the database

    1.1. It takes the metadatainput (the type of log parsing to be used), currently supported parsing are

       a. sbsmetadatainput - sbs log processing (based on xml processing)

       b. textmetadatainput - general text log processing (based on text processing)

       c. policylogmetadatainput - policy log output processing (based on xml processing)

       d. antlogmetadatainput - ant log output processing (based on text processing)

       e. abldlogmetadatainput - abld log output processing (based on text processing)

       Please see ant doc for more details on metadatarecord.

   1.2 It takes the fileset containing list of log files

   1.3 It takes the metadata filter, list of regular expression for searching strings.

Metadata Filters

================

This document describes the usage of metadata filter to change the severity level during different stages of the build.

Overview

--------

Metadata filters are set of regular expressions used to match the text of the build output and process the errors, categorize it,

and used to generate the output for diamonds, summary file, email output. Predefined set of ids are defined for each stage of the

build. For example for raptor compilation filter is defined as below,

The default definition of filterset.sbs is

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatafilterset id="filterset.sbs">

        <metadatafilterset refid="filterset.common" />

    </hlm:metadatafilterset>

which is using the common definition which is,

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatafilterset id="filterset.common">

        <metadatafilterset filterfile="${helium.dir}/config/metadata_regex.csv" />

    </hlm:metadatafilterset>

The complete list of predefined ids for various stages of the build are defined in this file,

helium/config/metadata_filter_config_default.xml

Each ID can be overridden to provide additional regular expression to control the results of the build for different stages.

Two ways to add the regular expressions

---------------------------------------

 - Adding more than one regular expression

Define your own csv file and override it in your configuration as below (add this after importing helium.ant.xml file),

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatafilterset id="filterset.sbs">

        <metadatafilterset filterfile="${s60.config}/config/metadata_regex.csv" />

    </hlm:metadatafilterset>

 - Adding just one regular expression

This can be done as below,

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatafilterset id="filterset.sbs">

      <metadatafilter priority="error" regex=".*Error\s*:\s+.*" description="sbs compilation error" />

      <metadatafilterset filterfile="${helium.dir}/config/metadata_regex.csv" />

    </hlm:metadatafilterset>

Note

----

1. The order of metadatafilter / metadatafilterset is important, so the first one takes precedence than the second one.

2. Order is also preserved in the csv file, the expressions which are defined first get precedence than the later one.

3. All the regular expressions are JAVA patterns.

Usage in Helium

===============

Different build stages were processed and identified the type of output and added the metadatarecord

task for each build stage and captured the output in the database. And after storing it, using fmpp 

template the error information from database are processed to send to diamonds, raised signal accordingly.

Usage

=====

Examples:

    SBS comilation output in db:

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatarecord database="${metadata.dbfile}">

        <hlm:sbsmetadatainput cleanLogFile="${sbs.clean.log.file}">

            <fileset casesensitive="false" file="${sbs.log.file}"/>

            <metadatafilterset refid="filterset.sbs" />

        </hlm:sbsmetadatainput>

    </hlm:metadatarecord>

This example is to process sbs output. The metadatainput is sbsmetadatainput to process the sbs log file, takes the sbs.log.file

uses the regular expression defined by filterset.sbs

.. code-block:: xml

    <hlm:metadatarecord database="${metadata.dbfile}">

        <hlm:abldmetadatainput>

            <fileset casesensitive="false" file="${build.log.dir}/${build.id}${cmaker.log.label}.export.cmaker.log" />

            <metadatafilterset refid="filterset.compile" />

        </hlm:abldmetadatainput>

    </hlm:metadatarecord>

This example process the cmaker output as abld output log. It takes abldmetadatainput as metadatainput

and the logfile as ${build.log.dir}/${build.id}${cmaker.log.label}.export.cmaker.log and the regular

expression is used from the reference filterset.compile.

Similarly any of the log output file can be easily processed in a similar way.
