Git Provider Receiver
The Git Provider receiver scrapes data from Git vendors.
As a starting point, this receiver can infer many of the same core git metrics across vendors, while being able to receive additional data specific to vendors.
The current default set of metrics common across all vendors can be found in documentation.md.
These default metrics can be used as leading indicators to the DORA metrics; helping provide insight into modern-day engineering practices.
GitHub Metrics
The current metrics available via scraping from GitHub are:
- Repository count
- Repository branch time
- Repository branch count
- Repository contributor count
- Repository pull request time
- Repository pull request merge time
- Repository pull request approval time
- Repository pull request deployment time
Note: Some metrics may be disabled by default and have to be explicitly enabled.
For example, the repository contributor count metric is one such metric. This is
because this metric relies on the REST API which is subject to lower rate limits.
GitLab Metrics
The current metrics available via scraping from GitLab are:
- Repository count
- Repository branch time
- Repository branch count
- Repository contributor count
- Repository pull request time
- Repository pull request merge time
- Repository pull request approval time
- Repository pull request deployment time
Getting Started
The collection interval is common to all scrapers and is set to 30 seconds by default.
Note: Generally speaking, if the vendor allows for anonymous API calls, then you
won't have to configure any authentication, but you may only see public repositories
and organizations.
gitprovider:
collection_interval: <duration> #default = 30s
scrapers:
<scraper1>:
<scraper2>:
...
A more complete example using the GitHub & GitLab scrapers with authentication is as follows:
extensions:
basicauth/github:
client_auth:
username: ${env:GH_USER}
password: ${env:GH_PAT}
bearertokenauth/gitlab:
token: ${env:GITLAB_PAT}
receivers:
gitprovider:
initial_delay: 1s
collection_interval: 60s
scrapers:

metrics:
git.repository.contributor.count:
enabled: true
github_org: myfancyorg
search_query: "org:myfancyorg topic:o11yalltheway" #optional query override, defaults to "{org,user}:<github_org>"
endpoint: "https://selfmanagedenterpriseserver.com"

authenticator: basicauth/github

This receiver is developed upstream in the liatrio-otel-collector distribution
where a quick start exists with an example config
