Open Telemetry Trace Exporter Action

This is a fork of inception health's otlp action that will export GitHub Workflow telemetry data using OTLP to a configurable endpoint.

We forked this action to avoid github deprecations and to remove the junit trace exporter.

Usage

On workflow_run Event

name: OpenTelemetry Export Trace

on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: [my-workflow]
    types: [completed]

jobs:
  otel-export-trace:
    name: OpenTelemetry Export Trace
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Export Workflow Trace
        uses: MeritAmerica/otel-export-trace-action@latest
        with:
          otlpEndpoint: grpc://api.honeycomb.io:443/
          otlpHeaders: ${{ secrets.OTLP_HEADERS }}
          githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          runId: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}

On Current Workflow

name: OpenTelemetry Export Trace

on:
  push:
    branch: [main]

jobs:
  build:
    # Run build steps
  otel-export-trace:
    if: always()
    name: OpenTelemetry Export Trace
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build] # must run when all jobs are complete
    steps:
      - name: Export Workflow Trace
        uses: inception-health/otel-export-trace-action@latest
        with:
          otlpEndpoint: grpc://api.honeycomb.io:443/
          otlpHeaders: ${{ secrets.OTLP_HEADERS }}
          githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
