GitHub Actions Analytics and Pipetrics Documentation
Use Pipetrics for GitHub Actions cost monitoring, performance analysis, MCP optimization, Grafana dashboards, and Slack notifications.
What is Pipetrics?
Pipetrics is a tool for observability of GitHub Actions workflows. It helps track long-term performance metrics in CI/CD pipelines by collecting historical run data and providing real-time insights into workflow executions.
Costs
- GitHub Actions cost monitoring: understand cost by repository, workflow, job, runner, and outcome.
- Pipetrics Cost Profiler: use product filters and drill-downs.
- GitHub Actions cost optimization: reduce unnecessary runs, failures, matrix work, and runner usage.
Performance
- GitHub Actions performance monitoring: find slow workflows, queue delays, and regressions.
- GitHub Actions negative rerun durations: read a real telemetry edge-case investigation.
AI and MCP
- GitHub Actions optimization with Pipetrics MCP: analyze measured telemetry from Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and compatible clients.
Grafana
- GitHub Actions Grafana dashboard: import cost, reliability, queue, and p95 duration panels.
Notifications
- GitHub Actions Slack notifications tutorial: configure native workflow notifications.
- Pipetrics Slack integration: manage notification rules in Pipetrics.
