Attendance

Overview

The attendance service provides generic attendance logging functionality for recording "in" and "out" timestamps for individuals. These timestamps are logged on a per-individual basis. The muster roll service takes on the responsibility of aggregating and calculating attendance based on these recorded timestamps. It processes and computes attendance data using these individual "in" and "out" timestamps to provide a comprehensive view of attendance records.

Pre-requisites

A running DIGIT platform is needed to deploy the attendance service. Specifically, the following dependencies are needed:

• Individual

• MDMS

• Idgen

• Persister

• Indexer

Functionality

Provides APIs to:

• Create an attendance register

• Map staff to the register

• Map attendees to the register

• Log attendance

• Edit attendance registers, staff, attendees and attendance.

Base URL: /attendance/v1/

Deployment

Below are the variables that should be configured for the contract service in the Helm environment file prior to deployment. The Helm environment file is located under:

https://github.com/{{ORG}}/DIGIT-DevOps/deploy-as-code/helm/environments/{{EnvironmentFile}}.yaml

Refer to the sample here.

• Add these ‘db-host’,’db-name’,’db-url’, ’domain’ and all the digit core platform services configurations (Idgen, workflow, user etc.) in respective environments YAML file.

• Add attendance-service related environment variables’ value like the way it's done in the ‘dev’ environment YAML file.

  • https://github.com/egovernments/DIGIT-DevOps/blob/digit-works/deploy-as-code/helm/environments/works-dev.yaml#L77
  • https://github.com/egovernments/DIGIT-DevOps/blob/digit-works/deploy-as-code/helm/environments/works-dev.yaml#L189
  • https://github.com/egovernments/DIGIT-DevOps/tree/digit-works/deploy-as-code/helm/charts/digit-works/backend/attendance-service
• Add the ‘egov-mdms-service’ related configuration to the respective environment YAML file. Make sure you change the gitsync.branch name.
• Check the attendance-service persister file is added in the egov-persister.perister-yml-path variable. If not, follow the steps outlined here.
• Make sure to add the DB(Postgres and flyway) username & password in the respective environment secret YAML file as per the steps given here.
• Make sure to add the DIGIT core services-related secrets that are configured in the respective environment secret file the way it's done here.

Restart egov-mdms-service, egov-persister, egov-indexer, inbox, egov-workflow-v2, egov-accesscontrol and ZUUL services after the above changes are performed.
