grafana-github-actions-go

This repository contains a handful of GitHub Actions that are mostly used in the context of releasing Grafana packages.

update-changelog

This action generates an update to the CHANGELOG.md file based on pull-requests included in a release-milestone. The following inputs need to be provided:

• version (e.g. 9.4.0) which matches the name of the relevant milestone inside the grafana/grafana project.
• token which represents a GitHub token which has read access to the relevant projects and can push to the target project for creating a new PR with the updated changelog.
• metrics_api_endpoint (default: https://graphite-us-central1.grafana.net/metrics): Graphite HTTP endpoint to submit usage metrics to.
• metrics_api_key: API key for that Graphite endpoint (will be used as HTTP Basic Auth password).
• metrics_api_username: Username for that Graphite endpoint.
