Table: github_actions_repository_runner - Query GitHub Actions Repository Runners using SQL

GitHub Actions is a CI/CD service provided by GitHub which allows automating software workflows. It enables developers to build, test, and deploy applications on GitHub, making it easier to integrate changes and deliver better software faster. A key feature of GitHub Actions is the ability to use self-hosted runners, which are servers with GitHub Actions runner application installed.

Table Usage Guide

The github_actions_repository_runner table provides insights into the self-hosted runners of GitHub Actions for a specific repository. As a DevOps engineer, you can explore runner-specific details through this table, including runner IDs, names, operating systems, statuses, and associated metadata. Utilize it to manage and monitor your self-hosted runners, ensuring they are functioning properly and are up-to-date.

Important Notes

You must specify the repository_full_name column in where or join clause to query the table.

Examples

List runners

Explore which runners are associated with the 'turbot/steampipe' repository in GitHub Actions. This can be beneficial for maintaining and managing the performance and efficiency of your workflows.

from
  github_actions_repository_runner
where
  repository_full_name = 'turbot/steampipe'
  and os = 'macos';

List runners which are in use currently

  id,
  name,
  os,
  busy
from
  github_actions_repository_runner
where
