# GitHub Actions Exporter
Prometheus exporter exposing [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) metrics.
Right now this exporter only expose the one metric which is the WorkFlow execution
time.
Other metrics can be added in the future.
## Getting Started
This exporter receives webhook events from GitHub.
If you want to collect metrics from a GitHub repository you will need to create a webhook
in your GitHub repo.
You need just to select the `Check Run` event and the set your secret (that you start your exporter, see below)
The webhook will call `/gh_event` path on your endpoint by default. You can change this with the `--web.gh-webhook-path` option.
Also it collects the Action Billing metrics, for that you will need to setup a GitHub API Access Token
When configuring for an organization Access tokens must have the `repo` or `admin:org` scope.
When configuring for an user Access tokens must have the `user` scope.
