I am looking to set up a comprehensive project overview using Bugzilla that resembles a JIRA dashboard. I need to see a roadmap view, detailed bug statistics, and multiple metrics on one screen. While I know Eclipse plugins might help, I am doubtful about options like yoxel, which require direct access to Bugzilla’s SQL database. Is there an alternative method that can integrate these features within Bugzilla?
hey finn_mystery i dun think theres a simple built in alternative. you might explore plug in modules that extract data via bugzilla api without messing with direct sql. its not exactly a jira dashboard but can display vital metrics.
I have experimented with similar requirements for building a centralized dashboard with Bugzilla. One approach that worked well was leveraging Bugzilla’s XML-RPC and REST APIs to extract and aggregate data. This allowed for external tools to pull metrics without dealing directly with the SQL backend. I built a small middleware that visually presents roadmap overviews, bug statistics, and key performance indicators in one interface, which isn’t as integrated as JIRA but serves a similar purpose. While this approach is a bit technical, it provides the flexibility to tailor the dashboard to specific project needs.
