OpenTelemetry Resource Detector for GitHub Actions

Resource detector for GitHub Actions.

Detects GITHUB_* environment variables specified here and adds as attributes on a resource.

This is useful for collecting telemetry in GitHub Actions-powered CI/CD workflows.

The OpenTelemetry Resource is an immutable representation of the entity producing telemetry. For example, a process producing telemetry that is running in a container on Kubernetes has a Pod name, it is in a namespace and possibly is part of a Deployment which also has a name. All three of these attributes can be included in the Resource.

Compatible with OpenTelemetry JS API and SDK 1.0+.

Installation

npm install --save @opentelemetry/resource-detector-github

Usage

const { gitHubDetector } = require('@opentelemetry/opentelemetry-resource-detector-github')

async function run() {
  // Initialize GitHub Resource Detector
  const resource = await gitHubDetector.detect();
};

run()
