Smoke Test: OTEL Backends - 25863489297

[github-actions]

Executive Summary: FAIL

The local OTEL emit side shows spans for this run but recorded 2 OTLP export errors. Both Sentry and Grafana backends failed with auth errors (403/401 respectively), so end-to-end visibility cannot be confirmed.

Overall verdict: FAIL

---

Checklist

• Local send verification — INCONCLUSIVE (spans present, 2 export errors)
• Sentry query verification — FAIL (HTTP 403 — permission denied)
• Grafana query verification — FAIL (HTTP 401 — unauthorized)

Evidence

Local OTEL Emission

• OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT: set
• OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS: set
• GH_AW_OTLP_ENDPOINTS: set
• OTEL_SERVICE_NAME: gh-aw
• COPILOT_OTEL_FILE_EXPORTER_PATH: /tmp/gh-aw/copilot-otel.jsonl
• /tmp/gh-aw/otel.jsonl: 1 line, span gh-aw.agent.setup with run_id=25863489297 confirmed
• /tmp/gh-aw/copilot-otel.jsonl: 13 lines, Copilot-instrumented spans for traceId=c6d9cf819c6c1ecce4d5317c903307d1
• /tmp/gh-aw/otlp-export-errors.count: 2 ← export errors present

Decision: send_status = inconclusive — span for current run exists locally but 2 OTLP export errors indicate the remote push may have partially or fully failed.

---

Sentry

• MCP bridge connection: OK (HTTP 200 on initialize)
• sentry find_organizations: HTTP 403 — You do not have permission to perform this action
• No project lookup possible; no span query possible
• No fallback query attempted (blocked by same 403)

Decision: sentry_status = fail — Sentry MCP is reachable but the configured token lacks find_organizations permission.

---

Grafana

• MCP bridge connection: OK (HTTP 200 on initialize)
• grafana list_datasources: HTTP 401 — Unauthorized
• No tracing datasource discovered; no span query possible
• No fallback query attempted (blocked by same 401)

Decision: grafana_status = fail — Grafana MCP is reachable but the configured service account token is invalid or missing.

---

Blockers

🔴 Sentry — HTTP 403 on find_organizations

Problem: The SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN secret does not have sufficient permissions to list organizations via the Sentry API.

Action: Grant the Sentry token org:read scope (minimum) on the github organization, or rotate SENTRY_ACCESS_TOKEN with a token that has that scope.

🔴 Grafana — HTTP 401 on list_datasources

Problem: The GRAFANA_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN secret is either missing, expired, or revoked — the Grafana MCP returns 401 Unauthorized.

Action: Rotate GRAFANA_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN in the repository secrets with a valid Grafana service-account token that has Viewer role or higher.

🟡 OTLP Export Errors (send side)

Problem: /tmp/gh-aw/otlp-export-errors.count = 2. Spans were generated locally but at least 2 batches failed to export to the remote OTLP endpoint.

Action: Check whether GH_AW_OTLP_ENDPOINTS destinations are reachable from the runner. Verify the value of OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS has not expired or been rotated.
