Observability for GitHub Actions with OpenTelemetry

This guide demonstrates how to achieve end-to-end observability of your CI/CD pipelines by using OpenTelemetry to monitor GitHub Actions. By configuring the OpenTelemetry Collector's GitHub receiver, you can collect traces and metrics from your workflows, enabling you to identify bottlenecks, debug errors, and analyze dependencies. The guide provides a step-by-step setup, including configuring a GitHub webhook, installing the OpenTelemetry Collector, configuring receivers and processors, and handling authentication. YAML configuration snippets are included. Finally, this data is sent to an observability platform like SigNoz for visualization and analysis.
