gh-action-trace

gh-action-trace is a binary that can be used to generate traces for GitHub Action runs by retrieving the metadata from GitHub API.

Installation

cargo install gh-action-trace

Usage

First, Run jaeger locally to collect the traces.

docker run -d  -p6831:6831/udp -p6832:6832/udp -p16686:16686 jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest --log-level debug

Now, Run the binary to generate and send the traces to Jaeger. Though, The binary should work without a GitHub token, It is recommended to pass a GitHub token through the --token flag for the binary to not be rate-limited.

$ gh-action-trace --owner linkerd --repo linkerd2 --runs 100 --token <GITHUB_TOKEN>
