GitHub Actions

You can augment your GitHub Actions workflows to report success and failure to BetaSeries Health:

name: Hourly Housekeeping
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '15 * * * *'
jobs:
  Main-Job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Running housekeeping tasks..."
  Ping-Success:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [Main-Job]
    steps:
      - run: curl -m 10 --retry 5 ${{ secrets.ping_url }}
  Ping-Failure:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ failure() }}
    needs: [Main-Job]
    steps:
      - run: curl -m 10 --retry 5 ${{ secrets.ping_url }}/fail

Note how the jobs Ping-Success and Ping-Failure define Main-Job as their dependency. Ping-Success runs only if Main-Job completes successfully, and Ping-Failure runs when Main-Job fails.

To avoid exposing the ping URL, it is a good idea to define it as a secret and access it via the secrets context.

Using the workflow_run Trigger

Alternatively, you can put the pinging logic in a separate workflow, and configure it to trigger every time your main workflow finishes. The main workflow:

name: Hourly Housekeeping
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '15 * * * *'
jobs:
  Main-Job:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - run: echo "Running housekeeping tasks..."

And the monitoring workflow:

name: Ping BetaSeries Health
on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ['Hourly Housekeeping']
    types: [completed]
jobs:
  Ping-Success:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success' }}
    steps:
      - run: curl -m 10 --retry 5 ${{ secrets.ping_url }}
  Ping-Failure:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'failure' }}
    steps:
      - run: curl -m 10 --retry 5 ${{ secrets.ping_url }}/fail
