Skill: Create Monitoring Report

When to Use

• Use this skill when implementing a new monitoring report type (new model/report generator + API registry entry).
• Use it when python manage.py generate_report <report_type> must support a new type.
• Use it when /v1/monitoring/report* must expose a new report_type.
• Do NOT use this skill for read-only consumption of existing reports.
• Do NOT use this skill for unrelated domains outside breathecode.monitoring.

Workflow

1. Define the report data model under breathecode/monitoring/reports/<report_type>/models.py.
2. Implement a generator class in breathecode/monitoring/reports/<report_type>/actions.py extending BaseReport.
3. Register command generation by adding the new class in breathecode/monitoring/management/commands/generate_report.py REPORT_REGISTRY.
4. Add list/detail serializers in breathecode/monitoring/serializers.py for the new report model.
5. Register API metadata in breathecode/monitoring/reports/api_registry.py:
   • slug, label, description
   • model, list_serializer, detail_serializer
   • filters, sort_fields, default_sort
   • supports_detail, supports_summary, summary_builder, date_field (as needed)
6. Validate list/detail/summary behavior through existing generic monitoring report endpoints in breathecode/monitoring/views.py and breathecode/monitoring/urls.py (no new endpoint path required).
7. Add tests for report generation command and report API behavior.
8. Run focused tests for new report files plus current monitoring report URL tests.

Endpoints

• Method: GET
• Path: /v1/monitoring/report
• Purpose for this skill: Verify your new report_type appears in discovery metadata.

Response fields to verify

{
  "slug": "new-report-slug",
  "filters": ["academy", "date"],
  "sort_fields": ["created_at", "-created_at"],
  "supports_detail": true,
  "supports_summary": true
}

• Method: GET

• Path: /v1/monitoring/report/{report_type}

• Purpose for this skill: Verify list serialization and filters for the new report.

• Method: GET

• Path: /v1/monitoring/report/{report_type}/{report_id}

• Purpose for this skill: Verify detail serializer output for one row.

• Method: GET

• Path: /v1/monitoring/report/{report_type}/summary

• Purpose for this skill: Verify summary builder output shape if summary is enabled.

Edge Cases

• New report missing in discovery: confirm api_registry.py has an entry in REPORT_API_REGISTRY.
• Command rejects report type: confirm generate_report.py REPORT_REGISTRY includes it.
• Unsupported filter/sort errors: ensure filters and sort_fields in registry match intended query behavior.
• Empty default list response: if date_field is configured, list defaults to latest date; verify test fixtures include report rows for at least one date.
• Summary fails: set supports_summary=False when no summary_builder exists, or implement the builder.

Checklist

1. Added report model + migrations under monitoring/reports/<report_type>.
2. Implemented BaseReport subclass with fetch/process/save flow.
3. Registered report in generate_report.py REPORT_REGISTRY.
4. Added serializers and API registry config for the report type.
5. Verified discovery/list/detail/summary endpoints with the new report_type.
6. Added automated tests for command and API behavior.
7. Ran focused tests successfully before finishing.
