Details

• Change #393: Switch to official logging library

  Since there have been a structured logger part of the Go standard library we
  thought it's time to replace the library with that. Be aware that log messages
  should change a little bit.

  #393

• Change #405: New metrics and configs for workflow job collector

  We have added a new metric for the duration of the time since the workflow job
  was created, defined in minutes. Beside that we have added two additional
  configurations to query the workflows for a specific status and you are able to
  define a different timeframe than 12 hours now.

  #405

• Change #412: Change config and metric names for workflows

  We introduced a BREAKING CHANGE by renaming the config variables and metrics
  related to the workflows. Previously you had to set --collector.workflows or
  GITHUB_EXPORTER_COLLECTOR_WORKFLOWS to enable the collector, for being
  consistent with the new workflow job collector we have renamed them to
  --collector.workflow_runs and GITHUB_EXPORTER_COLLECTOR_WORKFLOW_JOBS, so be
  aware about that. Additionally we have also renamed the metrics a tiny bit
  matching the same suffix. We renamed them as an example from
  github_workflow_status to github_workflow_run_status.

  #412

• Enhancement #368: Add actor.login label to workflow collector

  Export an actor.login label for workflow collector which could be added to the
  labels optionally, please keep the label cardinality in mind while enabling this
  label.
