GitHub Actions

The GitHub Actions connector imports your workflow runs into Logilica so build performance and reliability feed into the Build dashboard, and — once deployment detection is configured — the DORA metrics.

Authentication

GitHub Actions data is imported through your existing GitHub connection — there is no separate connector to configure. Once GitHub is connected (via OAuth, a personal access token, or a GitHub App installation), Logilica imports workflow run data for each repository automatically. See Connecting Tools for how to set up the GitHub connection.

What's Imported

For each repository, Logilica imports completed workflow runs and the work beneath them:

• Workflow runs — name (falling back to the workflow identifier when a run has no name), link to the run on GitHub, created and started timestamps, and the resolved completion time

• Status and conclusion — the run's status and conclusion as reported by GitHub

• Triggering actor — the person or account that triggered the run

• Commit and branch — the head commit and the branch the run executed against

• Pull request associations — any pull requests linked to the run

• Jobs and steps — the jobs in each run and the steps within them, with their names, links, and timings

How Logilica Maps the Data

Build outcomes are normalised so that success, failure, and cancelled results are consistent across every CI/CD platform Logilica supports. The values shown match those reported by GitHub.

In-progress runs are skipped. Only workflow runs that have completed are imported. Runs that are still queued or running are left out until they finish and are picked up on a later scan.

Good to Know

• Kept in sync automatically. After the initial import, Logilica refreshes this connection on a regular schedule — you don't need to re-trigger imports.

• First import covers the last 6 months. The initial scan imports workflow runs created within the last 6 months. Importing older history requires a configuration change by Logilica — contact support.

• Release detection flags deployments. Logilica runs release detection over imported builds, flagging the runs that represent deployments so they can power your DORA metrics.

• There is a cap on imported runs per repository. Logilica imports up to roughly the most recent 1000 workflow runs per repository at onboarding. Future runs are added to the stored history as they complete.

• It feeds Build and DORA. Imported runs power the Build dashboard (build frequency, reliability, speed, and recovery time) and, once Release Detection is configured, the DORA metrics.

• Push your own build data. If you run builds that this connector doesn't cover, you can send them via the Build Data Import API.
