Discussion Details

Hi team,

We have a use case where we’d like to capture details of jobs that are scheduled on our self-hosted (ARC) runners (like Job ID, Job name, Workflow details, commit details, etc).

Right now, our approach is to patch pod labels with these details after retrieving details from events.json (from _temp/_github_workflow/event.json) using a sidecar container, which picks up the file and patch the pod labels once a job is scheduled on a runner.

Is there a better or more recommended way to achieve this? Does the ARC Controller natively support this, or is there a plan for it in the future?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!
