Viewing GitHub Actions metrics

About GitHub Actions metrics

GitHub Actions metrics provide insights into how your workflows and jobs are performing at the organization and repository levels. There are two types of metrics to help you analyze different aspects of your workflows:

• GitHub Actions usage metrics: Usage metrics help you track how many minutes your workflows and jobs consume. You can use this data to understand the cost of running Actions and ensure you're staying within your plan limits. This is especially useful for identifying high-usage workflows or repositories.
• GitHub Actions performance metrics: Performance metrics focus on the efficiency and reliability of your workflows and jobs. With performance metrics, you can monitor key indicators like job run times, queue times, and failure rates to identify bottlenecks, slow-running jobs, or frequently failing workflows.

Enabling access to GitHub Actions metrics

Organization owners can create custom organization roles to allow people to view GitHub Actions usage metrics for their organization. To provide users with access, select the "View organization Actions metrics" role when creating a custom organization role. For more information, see "Acerca de los roles personalizados de organización."

About GitHub Actions usage metrics

Las métricas de uso de GitHub Actions le permiten analizar cómo usa la organización los minutos de acciones. Puede visualizar la información de uso relacionada con:

• Flujos de trabajo. Visualice los datos de uso de cada flujo de trabajo de la organización y use esta información para identificar oportunidades de optimización, como refactorizar un flujo de trabajo o usar un ejecutor más grande.
• Trabajos. Vea qué trabajos consumen más recursos y dónde se ejecutan.
• Repositorios. Obtenga una instantánea de alto nivel de cada repositorio de la organización y su volumen de uso de minutos de acciones.
• SO del entorno de ejecución. Comprenda cómo los ejecutores de cada sistema operativo usan los minutos de acciones y los tipos de sistemas operativos en los que se ejecutan los flujos de trabajo con más frecuencia.
• Tipo de ejecutor. Compare cómo los ejecutores autohospedados y los ejecutores hospedados en GitHub usan minutos de acciones y el volumen de ejecuciones de flujo de trabajo para cada tipo de ejecutor.

About GitHub Actions performance metrics

GitHub Actions performance metrics enables you to analyze the efficiency and reliability of your workflows. You can view performance information such as average run times, average queue times, and failure rates, related to:

• Workflows. View performance data for each workflow in your organization, including average run time and job failures. Use this information to identify inefficient workflows and run stability.
• Jobs. View performance data for each individual job to, including average run time, average queue time, and job failures. Use this information to identify inefficient jobs.
• Repositories. Get a high-level snapshot of each repository in your organization and their average performance metrics.
• Runtime OS. Understand how runners for each operating system are performing.
• Runner type. Compare the performance of self-hosted runners and GitHub-hosted runners, to make decisions about runner types.

Understanding GitHub Actions metrics aggregation

La característica de selección de período de tiempo permite ver las métricas de uso de GitHub Actions durante períodos predefinidos, como se detalla en la tabla siguiente. Estas métricas incluyen ejecuciones omitidas y aquellas que usan cero minutos. Los datos se presentan mediante días de hora universal coordinada (UTC).
