Github integration and Build Status

John Medina_sk1ry7

I am attempting to use Compass to monitor the status of the many repositories my company manages using Github. We mainly use Github Actions to run CI/CD pipelines on changes to our repositories and like to be able to track them in Compass.

I have created the `compass.yml` files and added them to the repos, but they only provide 3 different kinds of metrics:

1. Deployment Frequency
2. Open Pull Requests
3. PR Cycle Time

I'm looking for a way to update a status/metric of a component based on the conclusions of certain Github Actions. Similar to how build events are tracked using the pre-defined Build Success Rate metric for Bitbucket pipelines.

I was wondering if I could get some guidance on how I could achieve something like this.

Hey John 👋 It's Dave from the Compass integrations team. Welcome and thanks for this question. Sounds like you're looking to manually push metrics to a component based on the result of a GitHub Action. We've got instructions for setting that up here:

Push metric values using a cURL command

Meanwhile, we are continually updating our integrations (including GitHub) to *automatically* publish key metrics to Compass. So for example, in the near future you will automatically be able to see *build success rate* for components with an associated GitHub repo, without you needing to follow the instructions above.

Hopefully this is helpful. Tell me more about the metrics you're looking to publish and I'll make sure you're on the right track!
