Metrics Collector - No changes needed, already resolved

[Copilot]

Metrics Collector workflow was failing with MCP Gateway v0.0.59 schema validation errors (runs #20-26, Jan 9-15). Issue #9898 reported the problem as unresolved.

Investigation Result

No code changes required. The fix was already deployed in commit ac0750f (Jan 16, 03:03 UTC), after the reported failures but before this investigation.

Current State

• MCP Gateway: v0.0.59 → v0.0.60 ✅
• Schema: Migrated from command/args to container/entrypoint/entrypointArgs ✅
• Lock file: Up-to-date, compiles without errors ✅

# Current configuration (already correct)
"agentic_workflows": {
  "type": "stdio",
  "container": "alpine:latest",
  "entrypoint": "/opt/gh-aw/gh-aw",
  "entrypointArgs": ["mcp-server"],
  "mounts": ["/opt/gh-aw:/opt/gh-aw:ro"],
  "env": {"GITHUB_TOKEN": "\${GITHUB_TOKEN}"}
}

Timeline

• Jan 9-15: Failures due to schema mismatch
• Jan 14: Issue [P1] Metrics Collector Failing - MCP Gateway Schema Validation Error #9898 closed prematurely
• Jan 16 03:03 UTC: Fix deployed (before this investigation)
• Current: Workflow ready, next run scheduled for 14:28 UTC

Closing as no action required. The reported failures occurred before the fix was deployed.

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

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
