Overview

Bugyou is a service which listens to fedmsg messages and interacts with the issue tracking tools through an API.

Bugyou is a fedmsg consumer that keeps listening to fedmsg for all the messages. Each of the plugin is configured to listen to one or more topics. The consumer maintains the list of topics and filters all the other messages other than the topics that is required by the plugins.

Each of the plugin has it’s own queue in redis. The filtered message is pushed to each of the queue. Plugins connected to their designated queue keep consuming these messages. The plugins dicards a message if the topic does match to the designated topic(s).

Once filtered, the plugins processed the message and uses the service API to manage a ticket in the issue tracking tools. If we want to track new kind of fedmsg message and file issue accordingly then we need to go ahead and write a new plugin.

The plugins are run through a controller which needs to be restarted whenever there is a new plugin. Once restarted, the controller enqueue the plugins and topics in an instruction queue in Redis. On which, the BugyouConsumer consumes the messages and updates the list of topics to be served accordingly.
