[github-actions]

Metrics Collector - Critical Infrastructure Failure

Status Summary

Priority: P1 - CRITICAL
Success Rate: 30% (3 success / 7 failures in last 10 runs)
Health Score: 30/100 🚨
Impact: Historical metrics collection severely limited, trending data unavailable

Previous Issue Status

Issue #9898: Was closed but workflow continues to fail
Action Required: Verify if fix was deployed or issue needs reopening

Impact Assessment

Critical Impact

• Historical Metrics: Daily metrics not being collected properly
• Trend Analysis: Other meta-orchestrators cannot track workflow health trends
• Data-Driven Decisions: Lack of metrics prevents optimization decisions
• Shared Memory: Incomplete metrics at /tmp/gh-aw/repo-memory/default/metrics/

Affected Systems

• Workflow Health Manager: Cannot calculate MTBF or track success rate trends
• Agent Performance Analyzer: Missing workflow execution data for analysis
• Campaign Manager: Cannot assess campaign health metrics
• Dashboard: Stale metrics data (last successful collection: 2026-01-08)

Configuration Analysis

Workflow: .github/workflows/metrics-collector.md

engine: copilot
tools:
  agentic-workflows:
  github:
    toolsets: [default]
  repo-memory:
    branch-name: memory/meta-orchestrators
    file-glob: "metrics/**"
timeout-minutes: 15

Known Issues

Issue #9898 Context

• Status: Closed (but workflow still failing)
• Possible Causes:
  • Fix not deployed to production
  • Fix incomplete or didn't address root cause
  • New regression introduced after fix
  • MCP Gateway breaking change

Historical Data Gap

• Last successful metrics: 2026-01-08
• Current metrics show "filesystem_analysis" only (no GitHub API data)
• Limitations documented: "No GitHub API access - cannot retrieve workflow run data"

Investigation Required

Immediate Actions

1. Review Issue [P1] Metrics Collector Failing - MCP Gateway Schema Validation Error #9898 - Check what fix was applied
2. Verify deployment - Ensure fix reached production
3. Check MCP Gateway - Validate configuration and connectivity
4. Test tool access - Verify agentic-workflows tool availability
5. Analyze recent logs - Identify current failure pattern

Likely Root Causes

• ✅ MCP Gateway configuration error
• ✅ GitHub API authentication failure
• ✅ Agentic-workflows tool not accessible
• ✅ Repo-memory write permissions issue
• ✅ Tool timeout or rate limiting

Recommended Fix Approach

1. Reopen Issue [P1] Metrics Collector Failing - MCP Gateway Schema Validation Error #9898 if fix wasn't effective
2. Test metrics collection with minimal tool configuration
3. Verify GitHub MCP setup and authentication
4. Check repo-memory branch permissions and access
5. Compare with working workflows using similar tools

Success Criteria

• Workflow runs successfully with >80% success rate
• Daily metrics collected and stored in /tmp/gh-aw/repo-memory/default/metrics/daily/
• latest.json updated with actual workflow run data (not just filesystem analysis)
• Other meta-orchestrators can access historical trends
