Telemetry Documentation

The TRX Parser action includes vendor-only telemetry that automatically collects usage and performance metrics for the action maintainer. This telemetry is completely transparent to action users and requires no configuration.

How It Works

• Completely automatic: No configuration required by action users
• Vendor-only: Only works in the vendor’s repository environment (NasAmin/trx-parser)
• Zero impact on consumers: Action users never see telemetry-related logs or errors
• Privacy-first: No user data or secrets are collected

What’s Collected (Vendor Only)

Metrics

• trx_parser_action_runs_total - Total number of action runs (labeled by outcome: success/failure)
• trx_parser_files_processed_total - Total number of TRX files processed
• trx_parser_tests_total - Total number of tests found in TRX files
• trx_parser_tests_passed - Total number of passed tests
• trx_parser_tests_failed - Total number of failed tests

Traces

• trx_parser_action_run - Overall action execution span
• find_trx_files - File discovery operation
• transform_trx_files - TRX file parsing operations
• transform_single_trx_to_json - Individual TRX file parsing
• create_check_runs - GitHub check run creation operations
• create_single_check_run - Individual GitHub check run creation
• github_check_create - GitHub API calls for check creation
• get_trx_files - File system operations for finding TRX files

Vendor Configuration

For the action maintainer, telemetry requires these repository secrets:

Variable	Description
VENDOR_HONEYCOMB_API_KEY	Honeycomb API key for exporting telemetry data
VENDOR_HONEYCOMB_DATASET	Optional: Honeycomb dataset name (defaults to ‘trx-parser’)

Security & Privacy

• No user configuration: Action users never need to set up telemetry
• No sensitive data collection: Tokens, file contents, and personal information are never included
• Graceful degradation: Telemetry failures do not affect action functionality for anyone
• Environment isolation: Only activates in vendor’s own repository
• Silent operation: No telemetry-related messages shown to action consumers

For Action Users

You don’t need to do anything! This telemetry is completely transparent and automatic. Your usage of the action is exactly the same whether telemetry is enabled or not.

- name: Parse TRX files
  uses: NasAmin/trx-parser@v1
  with:
    TRX_PATH: './test-results'
    REPO_TOKEN: $

The action will work identically with or without telemetry, and you’ll never see any telemetry-related configuration, logs, or errors.
