Monitoring by Code Owner

Status

Accepted

Context

We originally implemented the “code_owner” custom attribute in edx-platform for split-ownership of the LMS. See the original ADR in edx-platform for monitoring by code owner.

Owners wanted to be able to see transactions that they owned, in any IDA.

Decision

We will move the “code_owner” custom attribute code to these shared monitoring utilities so it is available for all IDAs.

The ability to add a catch-all configuration if there are no other matches will also be added in follow-up work.

Consequences

IDA owners will be able to add middleware and a Django Setting to have the same “code_owner” attribute available across all IDAs that are owned.

At this time, in the case of an IDA with split-ownership, maintenance of the Django Setting is still manual. In other words, new paths with new owners will needed to be added to the setting. Otherwise, the catch-all (if configured) will be marked as the code owner.
