Overview

The GitHub connector links your GitHub repositories to Dynatrace Workflows. From a single Workflow, you can create issues, manage pull requests, trigger CI/CD pipelines, and amend repository files driven by monitoring signals, analyzed by Dynatrace.

Connect your GitHub organization once, then build automations that respond to problems, threshold breaches, SDLC events, or scheduled triggers. Every action runs within a Workflow, so you have full control over conditions, sequencing, and approval gates.

Core capabilities:

  • Issue management. Create and update GitHub issues from Dynatrace events. Attach context such as root cause, affected entities, and remediation guidance automatically.

  • Pull request management. Create, list, and merge pull requests to drive GitOps-compliant configuration changes in your state repositories.

  • File operations. Get, create, replace, and delete files in repositories. Automate config amendments, version bumps, and remediation patches.

  • GitHub Actions workflow triggering. Trigger workflow runs, wait for completion, and retrieve full run details. Chain CI/CD pipelines directly into your observability-driven automation.

  • Comments. Add comments to issues and pull requests so your team stays informed without leaving Dynatrace.

Pre-built workflow templates get you started quickly, including templates for pull request review reminders and failed GitHub Actions run notifications. Combine the GitHub connector with Dynatrace apps such as Slack or Jira for Workflows for end-to-end incident and delivery automation.

Use cases

  • Auto-create GitHub issues from Dynatrace problems so on-call engineers have a tracked work item with full root-cause context the moment an incident fires.

  • Trigger GitOps remediation: amend configuration files in a state repository, open a pull request, and apply targeted changes such as right-sizing a PVC or scaling a deployment.

  • Notify teams about failed GitHub Actions runs with a scheduled Workflow that checks the latest run status and routes alerts to Slack or email.

  • Remind reviewers about stale pull requests with a scheduled Workflow that lists open PRs exceeding your team’s review SLA.

  • Connect CI/CD pipelines to observability signals: trigger a GitHub Actions workflow when Dynatrace detects a deployment event or quality gate result.

  • Keep deployment tracking current: comment on the originating PR or issue with post-deployment health status from Dynatrace.

Get started

The GitHub app is available from the Dynatrace Hub. Install it, then set up a connection to your GitHub organization:

  • Install the GitHub app from the Dynatrace Hub.

  • Navigate to the app and create a GitHub connection by authorizing access to your GitHub organization or repositories.

  • Open Workflows and create a new workflow, or start from one of the built-in workflow templates (e.g., PR review reminder, failed Actions notification).

  • Add a GitHub action step, select your connection, and configure the operation (create issue, trigger workflow run, etc.).

  • For detailed setup and action reference, see the GitHub connector documentation.

Details

GitHub enables users to amend files in state repositories to follow a GitOps-compliant approach for automation and remediation:

Define various incident triggers:

  • Use the power of DQL and leverage events to react to any problem, security incident, or attack to trigger a pipeline run
  • Use SDLC events as a trigger to react on extended events like a deployment event, failed release validation with Site Reliability Guardian, specific log messages, or external system events
  • Define a scheduler for periodic tasks

Repository Management

  • Get File content
  • Create a new file, replace or delete an existing file in your repository
  • Create a pull request, list pull requests, or merge an existing pull request
