Description

@github-actions

Executive Summary

  • Window: last 24h, Sentry org github, project gh-aw. Datasets: spans have data, logs have data, errors are empty (explicit observability finding: no Sentry error events).
  • One confirmed operational failure (Issue Triage Agent, run status failure). Two other traces contain span.status:error gateway/MCP spans with no workflow identity (inconclusive outcome).
  • No gen_ai.response.finish_reasons:length spans were found (query returned no results), but finish_reasons and release were null on all sampled spans (instrumentation gap, so truncation cannot be ruled out).

Top Reliability Findings

Priority Workflow Problem Evidence Next Action
1 Issue Triage Agent Run ended gh-aw.run.status:failure; gen_ai.chat spans (chat copilot/gpt-6-sol) and conclusion spans marked error 6 error spans in trace fe998b6da76396711dc95fd0df72f19e, 14:45-14:52 UTC Inspect the run logs for the failure cause; the span lacks a status message field in the queried attributes
2 unknown (no gh-aw.workflow.name on spans) gateway.backend.execute spans error out in bulk trace 498902e422a8c3db64d12c671697901b: ~55 error spans, 20:47-20:56 UTC (durations ~3ms); trace 9bdffb6ebe2e6e9e43c993567f774c08: 34 error spans at 13:25 UTC incl. execute_tool work_queue_claim_finish Identify the backend error from gateway logs; tag gateway spans with workflow name
3 unknown Single error-status spans traces 4159b25d5d7269fa304c4211f8ce04f1 (22:16), e7d3fb479a1930968a809787e2c43e50 (21:55), 80e25af5986cf2fa4045083a65fcecb0 (18:19), 748bebc14e580537ba62d8e265967192 (14:36) Triage after #2; inconclusive
4 n/a Instrumentation gap: gen_ai.response.finish_reasons and release null; span.status/run status absent on some spans 0 of 100 sampled spans (longest by duration) had finish_reasons or release See recommendations

Recommendations

  • Investigate the Issue Triage Agent failure (trace fe998b6d...) via the workflow run logs and confirm whether it recurs.
  • Add gh-aw.workflow.name (and error message) to gateway.backend.execute and mcp.tool_call spans so error bursts can be attributed.
  • Emit service.version/release and gen_ai.response.finish_reasons (needs stopReason in runtime metrics, see actions/setup/js/send_otlp_span.cjs) so truncation and regression checks become possible.
  • Consider alerting on the long-running (30-40 min) chat spans if they exceed expected workflow timeouts.

Notes

View notes
  • skills/otel-queries/SKILL.md does not exist in the repo; the prescribed loop was followed from the task instructions.
  • Attribute gh_aw.workflow_name is unknown to Sentry; the emitted names are gh-aw.workflow.name and gh-aw.run.status. I did not re-inspect send_otlp_span.cjs in this run.
  • Of the 100 longest spans sampled: 92 ok/success, 4 error/failure, 4 ok with no run status, 2 with no status. This sample is biased towards long spans. The span.status:error query returned 102 rows (limit 100) so counts are lower bounds.
  • No timeout, cancelled or OTLP export failure spans were specifically queried by status value beyond !gh-aw.run.status:success (which mainly returned non-run child spans). Those classes are inconclusive.
  • Trace details were verified via search_events filtered by trace:<id> (no get_trace_details tool available).
