# workflow-telemetry-action

A GitHub Action to track and monitor the
- workflow runs, jobs and steps
- resource metrics
- and process activities
of your GitHub Action workflow runs.
If the run is triggered via a Pull Request, it will create a comment on the connected PR with the results
and/or publishes the results to the job summary.

The action traces the jobs' step executions and shows them in trace chart,

And collects the following metrics:
- CPU Load (user and system) in percentage
- Memory usage (used and free) in MB
- Network I/O (read and write) in MB
- Disk I/O (read and write) in MB

And traces the process executions (only supported on `Ubuntu`)

as trace chart with the following information:
- Name
- Start time
- Duration (in ms)
- Finish time
- Exit status as success or fail (highlighted as red)

and as trace table with the following information:
- Name
- Id
- Parent id
- User id
- Start time
- Duration (in ms)
- Exit code
- File name
- Arguments

### Example Output

An example output of a simple workflow run will look like this.

## Usage

To use the action, add the following step before the steps you want to track.

```yaml
permissions:
pull-requests: write
jobs:
workflow-telemetry-action:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Collect Workflow Telemetry
uses: catchpoint/workflow-telemetry-action@v2
```

## Configuration

| Option | Requirement | Description
|------------------------------| --- | ---
| `github_token` | Optional | An alternative GitHub token, other than the default provided by GitHub Actions runner.
| `metric_frequency` | Optional | Metric collection frequency in seconds. Must be a number. Defaults to `5`.
| `proc_trace_min_duration` | Optional | Puts minimum limit for process execution duration to be traced. Must be a number. Defaults to `-1` which means process duration filtering is not applied.
| `proc_trace_sys_enable` | Optional | Enables tracing default system processes (`aws`, `cat`, `sed`, ...). Defaults to `false`.
| `proc_trace_chart_show` | Optional | Enables showing traced processes in trace chart. Defaults to `true`.
| `proc_trace_chart_max_count` | Optional | Maximum number of processes to be shown in trace chart (applicable if `proc_trace_chart_show` input is `true`). Must be a number. Defaults to `100`.
| `proc_trace_table_show` | Optional | Enables showing traced processes in trace table. Defaults to `true`.
| `comment_on_pr` | Optional | Set to `true` to publish the results as comment to the PR (applicable if workflow run is triggered by PR). Defaults to `true`.
Requires `pull-requests: write` permission
| `job_summary` | Optional | Set to `true` to publish the results as part of the [job summary page](https://github.blog/2022-05-09-supercharging-github-actions-with-job-summaries/) of the workflow run. Defaults to `true`.
| `theme` | Optional | Set to `dark` to generate charts compatible with Github **dark** mode. Defaults to `light`.
