Adding projects to monitor
Monitor dialog
Main operations

Le moniteur de projet est un outil utile qui surveille les dépôts et vous notifie dans le cas où il y ai de nouvelles livraisons.

Les projets peuvent être surveillés via un chemin de copie de travail ou directement via leurs URLs de dépôt.

The project monitor scans each project in a configurable interval, and every time new commits are detected a notification popup is shown. Also the icon that is added to the system tray changes to indicate that there are new commits.

Snarl

If Snarl is installed and active, then the project monitor automatically uses Snarl to show the notifications about newly detected commits.

Adding projects to monitor

If you first start the project monitor, the tree view on the left side is empty. To add projects, click on the button at the top of the dialog named Add Project.

To add a project for monitoring, fill in the required information. The name of the project is not optional and must be filled in, all other information is optional.

If the box for Path or Url is left empty, then a folder is added. This is useful to group monitored projects.

If you want to monitor all repositories served via the SVNParentPath directive, enter the root Url for your repositories and check the box Url points to SVNParentPath list.

The fields Username and Password should only be filled in if the repository does not provide anonymous read access, and only if the authentication is not stored by Subversion itself. If you're accessing the monitored repository with TortoiseSVN or other svn clients and you've stored the authentication already, you should leave this empty: you won't have to edit those projects manually if the password changes.

The Monitor interval in minutes specifies the minutes to wait in between checks. The smallest interval is one minute.

check interval

If there are a lot of users monitoring the same repository and the bandwidth on the server is limited, a repository admin can set the minimum for check intervals using an svnrobots.txt file. A detailed explanation on how this works can be found on the project monitor website:
