Is there a way to filter by branch? I'd love to be able to filter the insights of my team's action runs by our main branch to determine stability and performance in scenarios where it should pass 100% |

There is not a way to filter by branch currently. But this is interesting feedback, thank you! |

We monitor the same thing via Mixpanel right now. In addition to ability to filter by branch you also need ability to filter by event (push, workflow_dispatch, schedule, etc). GitHub Actions triggered via push to our default branch are expected to pass 100% of the time. Branches triggered via workflow_dispatch or on a schedule should definitely pass but they have a different SLA for us. Like a cron job that deletes stale branches failing is lower priority than a test suite failing in the default branch (all developers are blocked).

This is a much-needed addition, thanks for your work on this. For an enterprise like ours with more than 100 organizations, this won't be very useful for administration until we can get an enterprise-level version of this dashboard. That said, here's some additional views we'd love to see here (the most important ones to our enterprise are at the top):
Some of this ☝️ is related to the feedback I left on the usage metrics discussion. If you have API support in the pipeline sooner than an enterprise-level dashboard, we'd love to know so we can plan to cobble together our own enterprise-level summaries. |

An enterprise-level dashboard and an API are both on our roadmap! Thanks for this great feedback! 😄 |

Is there an API for this? We would love to have one to integrate those metrics in application related dashboards 🙏🏻 |

There is not an API for this yet but it's on our roadmap! |

Looking forward to it, as we recently had to built that from scratch and we most certainly might be missing some edge cases that this dashboard will probably dont miss 😄 |

Is the average for run time mean or median? It would be great to be able to remove some outliers or break them down by certain percentiles. I think our data is skewed short by jobs that get cancelled early as well. Maybe those could be excluded? |

The average for the run time is the mean. Your request makes sense - thank you for the feedback! 📓 |
