README

A simple package to generate a base table of timestamps daily to simplify the creating and maintaining of timeseries metrics and usage graphs over time. The base table should be maintained automatically which is the entire purpose of this package. The generated table will look as follows:

mysql> select * from metric_intervals;
+----+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| id | timestamp           | created_at          | updated_at          |
+----+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+
|  1 | 2018-01-29 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  2 | 2018-01-28 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  3 | 2018-01-27 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  4 | 2018-01-26 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  5 | 2018-01-25 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  6 | 2018-01-24 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  7 | 2018-01-23 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |
|  8 | 2018-01-22 00:00:00 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 | 2018-01-29 15:44:33 |

Getting Started

Add the reposistory

jonnx/laravel-timeseries-metrics

Add the Service Provider in /config/app.php

/*
 * Package Service Providers...
 */
Jonnx\LaravelTimeseriesMetrics\LaravelTimeseriesMetricsServiceProvider::class,

Publish Vendor Files for Laravel Timeseries Metrics

php artisan vendor:publish --provider Jonnx\LaravelTimeseriesMetrics\LaravelTimeseriesMetricsServiceProvider

Run Migrations

php artisan migrate

Update Backfill Config config/metrics.php

change the interval_backfill config to the date you need to go back to. This depends on when you launched your project and how far back your data goes.

<?php

return [

	/**
	 * the timestamp before which no metric_interval records will be created for
	 * this is used as a backstop when running the initial metrics:createInterval
	 */
	'interval_backfill' => '2018-01-01 00:00:00',
	
];

Schedule Command php artisan metrics:createInterval

the command will generate a full backfill of records the first time its run and if called in the scheduler, will generate additional records as needed (ie. when a day has passed). To do this automatically, add the following to your app/Console/Kernel.php:

$schedule->command('metrics:createInterval')->daily();
