This plugins allows to define a distributed stream of events published by Gerrit.
Events can be anything, from the traditional stream events to the Gerrit metrics.
This plugin requires NATS Jetstream and Gerrit 3.6 or later.
linux
java-11
Bazel
The events-nats plugin can be built as a regular 'in-tree' plugin. That means it is required to
clone a Gerrit source tree first and then to clone the events-nats plugin source directory into
the /plugins path. Additionally, the plugins/external_plugin_deps.bzl
file needs to be
updated to include the events-nats plugin external dependencies.
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/events-nats gerrit/plugins/events-nats
cd gerrit
rm plugins/external_plugin_deps.bzl
ln -s ./events-nats/external_plugin_deps.bzl plugins/.
If your build includes multiple plugins requiring external dependencies edit plugins/external_plugin_deps.bzl
.
E.g. to include dependencies of both the events-nats and the multi-site plugin:
load("//tools/bzl:maven_jar.bzl", "GERRIT", "MAVEN_CENTRAL", "MAVEN_LOCAL", "maven_jar")
load("//plugins/events-nats:external_plugin_deps.bzl", deps_events_nats = "external_plugin_deps")
load("//plugins/multi-site:external_plugin_deps.bzl", deps_multi_site = "external_plugin_deps")
def external_plugin_deps():
deps_events_nats()
deps_multi_site()
To build the events-nats plugins, issue this command from the Gerrit source path:
bazel build plugins/events-nats
The output is created in
bazel-genfiles/plugins/events-nats/events-nats.jar
Assuming a running NATS JetStream broker on the same Gerrit host, add the following
settings to etc/gerrit.config
:
[plugin "events-nats"]
server = nats://localhost:4222
Starting a local NATS JetStream server for testing:
docker run -d --name nats-main -p 4222:4222 -p 6222:6222 -p 8222:8222 nats -js
You can use the NATS command line client to inspect and manage NATS.
