This GitHub action allows you to instrument a pipeline and track number of runs and their duration; the data is then exported to a prometheus aggregation gateway, such as one of these:

• Prometheus Pushgateway
• Gravel Gateway
• Prometheus Aggregation Gateway

Due to limitations of GitHub actions, tracking success rate is only possible via api, so it is outside the scope of this action (for now).

Usage

Just add the action as a step to your job, and provide the url of the prometheus aggregation gateway as an input:

steps:
  - uses: autometrics-dev/instrument-pipeline@v0
    with:
      pushgateway: http://pushgateway.example.com
      gatewaytype: prometheus
  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
  - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
    with:
      node-version: 20
  - run: npm install
  - run: npm run build

Now every time the action runs, it will send the duration (and increase the run counter) of the run to the aggregation gateway.

Inputs

pushgateway

Required

URL to the aggregation gateway, for example http://localhost:9091.

gatewaytype

Type of the aggregation gateway, one of prometheus, gravel, or zapier. Currently only changes the url format in case of prometheus.

buckets

Array of buckets to use for the histogram. For example, [0, 1, 2, 5, 10, +Infinity].
