Enabling the collection of data about GitHub Actions
-
SSH into your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. If your instance comprises multiple nodes, for example if high availability or geo-replication are configured, SSH into the primary node. If you use a cluster, you can SSH into any node. Replace HOSTNAME with the hostname for your instance, or the hostname or IP address of a node. For more information, see "Accessing the administrative shell (SSH)."
Shell ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME
ssh -p 122 admin@HOSTNAME -
Enter the following command.
Shell ghe-config app.github.enable-actions-usage-stats true
ghe-config app.github.enable-actions-usage-stats true -
To apply the configuration, run the following command.
Note: During a configuration run, services on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance may restart, which can cause brief downtime for users.
Shell ghe-config-apply
ghe-config-apply -
Wait for the configuration run to complete.
