fix: include otel.jsonl in agent artifact upload when OTLP is enabled by Copilot · Pull Request #25209 · github/gh-aw

Copilot · 2026-04-08T00:29:11Z

send_otlp_span.cjs appends every OTLP span payload to /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl explicitly so it can be "inspected via GitHub Actions artifacts without needing a live collector" — but the file was never actually uploaded. github_rate_limits.jsonl, written by the same pattern, is uploaded. This closes that gap.

Changes

pkg/constants/job_constants.go — adds OtelJsonlFilename = "otel.jsonl" constant
pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml_main_job.go — conditionally appends /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl to artifact paths only when OTLP is enabled (isOTLPEnabled())

// Collect OTLP span mirror — enables post-hoc trace debugging without a live collector.
// Only included when OTLP is configured for this workflow.
if isOTLPEnabled(data) {
    artifactPaths = append(artifactPaths, "/tmp/gh-aw/"+constants.OtelJsonlFilename)
}

55 OTLP-configured .lock.yml workflows — recompiled to include /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl in the "Upload agent artifacts" step; the remaining 127 workflows without OTLP are unaffected

[!WARNING]

- Add OtelJsonlFilename constant to pkg/constants/job_constants.go - Append /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl to artifact paths in compiler_yaml_main_job.go - Update golden test fixtures to include the new path - Recompile all 182 .lock.yml workflow files Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/github/gh-aw/sessions/58107e42-879b-44ec-a884-8711dc26e5f2 Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>

@copilot only add this path when optl is enabled

Use isOTLPEnabled() to conditionally append otel.jsonl to artifact paths. Recompile all 182 workflows — 55 OTLP-configured workflows include the path, 127 without OTLP do not. Revert golden fixture changes since test fixtures have no OTLP configured.

@copilot only add this path when optl is enabled

Done in 2f3e686. otel.jsonl is now only appended to the artifact path list when isOTLPEnabled(data) returns true (i.e., when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT has been injected into the workflow env). After recompiling, 55 OTLP-configured workflows include the path and the remaining 127 do not.

Pull request overview

This PR ensures the local OTLP span mirror (/tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl) written by send_otlp_span.cjs is actually uploaded as part of the agent artifact when OTLP is enabled, enabling post-hoc trace debugging without requiring a live collector.

Changes:

Add a new constant (OtelJsonlFilename = "otel.jsonl") for the OTLP mirror filename.
Update the main job YAML compiler to include /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl in the unified artifact upload only when OTLP is configured (isOTLPEnabled(data)).
Recompile OTLP-enabled locked workflows to include the new artifact path in the “Upload agent artifacts” step.

Show a summary per file

File	Description
pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml_main_job.go	Conditionally appends `/tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl` to unified artifact paths when OTLP is enabled.
pkg/constants/job_constants.go	Introduces `OtelJsonlFilename` constant for the OTLP JSONL mirror filename.
.github/workflows/*.lock.yml	Updates OTLP-configured locked workflows to upload `/tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl` with agent artifacts.
