Actions Usage Metrics

[github-product-roadmap]

Summary

Actions Usage Metrics is an observability tool for DevEx and DevOps teams interested in understanding how Actions workflows are being used by their organization. Time is the most important metric for DevOps and DevEx teams. The question they want answered is, “where are all my minutes going?” Actions Usage Metrics addresses this question and others by focusing on minutes used per workflow, job, repository, runtime OS, and runner type regardless if you're using hosted or self-hosted runners. This data helps organizations locate areas of improvement in their software delivery lifecycle, saving time and money.

Intended Outcome

Organizations get high quality, relevant and actionable data about Actions usage including workflow and job execution details for hosted and self hosted runners.

How will it work?

Customers can filter data by any combination of workflows, jobs, repositories, runtime OS, and runner type to view total minutes, number of jobs, workflow executions, and more. All usage metrics, filtered or not, can be downloaded as a .csv file to use with your tool of choice. By default, organization owners can access Actions Usage Metrics. However, access permissions can be granted to other members or teams using Actions fine-grained permissions. This ensures the right level of access to Actions Usage Metrics data, enabling informed decisions and improvements.
