Notify developers and managers when spent time reached estimate on task in Redmine.
Note
This is work in progress. Alerts are not finished.
Redmine alerts should work with Redmine 1.1+:
pip install redmine-alertsConfigure settings (see below).
Add custom boolean field to issues. It's required to track sent emails.
Add to cron:
redmine-alertsSample config file in yaml. Feel free to omit most of the settings, the script will tell you if anything is missing. Example of configuration:
~/.alertsrc
redmine:
url: https://example.com
api_key: 018e918331a0798bd70fae73e6dd06961b1f0697

alert_field_id: 12 # ID of boolean custom-field
projects: # skip this item to enable for every project
- id: 42

- manager2@company.org
activities:

spent_notify_ratio: 110% # % the percentage of time exceeded

mode: SSLThe script hits Redmine API, querying most recent time_entries since last fetch. For each new time interval it finds a corresponding issue and checks if time spent on issue has reached the estimated time. In that case the assignee is notified via email that he is now behind the schedule.
You can customize:
- who else receives email when time limit is exceeded (
notify) - how much time needs to be spent to trigger notification (
spent_notify_ratio=100%)
