Scorecards as a very flexible and simple way to evaluate your catalog.
See below how to create a simple Operational Readiness Scorecard.
To create a scorecard, go to the Scorecards tab and click +Create Scorecard.
Fill in the scorecard's name and select an icon to represent it in your application.
Set your scorecard's status to Active if you intend to immediately apply it to services and want services owners to get notifications, or set it to Draft if you're going to be building the scorecard and reviewing with stakeholders before you want to activate its measurement on its applied services.
Optionally you can set a Start Date and End Date if the scorecard is intended to be a time-bound (vs. evergreen) initiative. We see this used a lot for migration-type initiatives.
Click Create Scorecard to create and begin selecting services and checks.
Checks are the heart and soul of Scorecards. They are what get configured and evaluated against the scorecard's applied services to produce a score.
To add a check, navigate to a scorecard, and under the Checks section, click + Add Check
For this example, we will add the following checks:
Checks if a Service is associate with at least one application.
Check if a Service is owned by at least one user
Check if a Service has at least one link to it's documentation.
Check if a Service has CI/CD configured
Scorecards operate on services. You must select one or more services that your scorecard will be evaluated against. To do this, enter your Scorecard and click +Apply to a Service.
Now, select the desired services from the list and click save. You can add and remove services to a scorecard at any time.
To add the scorecard plug-in, navigate to your service detail page (Catalog -> Services, select the desired service), and select + Add Plugin from the page:
Select Scorecards from the plug-in list, and select the scorecards you want to add to this Service:
This will add the scorecard widget to your service page. You can now see the scorecard widget and expand it to see details:
