Hello guys,

My question is how Gerrit stats connects on gerrit server, and what kinds of permission the gerrit server must provide in order to gerrit stats works fine. I don't start to use this tools yet, because I would like to get these informations in order to confirm whether my server is able to provide the data that gerrit stats needs.

Thank you!

The tool comprises of two parts - a downloader and a processor. The downloader, pulls in files through SSH: see https://github.com/holmari/gerritstats/blob/master/GerritDownloader/src/main/java/com/holmsted/gerrit/downloaders/ssh/SshDownloader.java for details.

There is a REST API that Gerrit provides as well, which would not require SSH. However, that's not supported by this tool. As far as I remember, it's non-trivial to add support for it since the output format is slightly different from what this tool currently expects.

Sorry for the lack of maintenance but I can't provide more support as I have not used Gerrit in my current job, for the last 4 years.
