# PyTorch CI Stats
We track various stats about each CI job.
1. Jobs upload their artifacts to an intermediate data store (either GitHub
Actions artifacts or S3, depending on what permissions the job has). Example:
https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/a9f6a35a33308f3be2413cc5c866baec5cfe3ba1/.github/workflows/_linux-build.yml#L144-L151
2. When a workflow completes, a `workflow_run` event [triggers
`upload-test-stats.yml`](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/d9fca126fca7d7780ae44170d30bda901f4fe35e/.github/workflows/upload-test-stats.yml#L4).
3. `upload-test-stats` downloads the raw stats from the intermediate data store
and uploads them as JSON to Rockset, our metrics backend.
```mermaid
graph LR
J1[Job with AWS creds
e.g. linux, win] --raw stats--> S3[(AWS S3)]
J2[Job w/o AWS creds
e.g. mac] --raw stats--> GHA[(GH artifacts)]
S3 --> uts[upload-test-stats.yml]
GHA --> uts
uts --json--> R[(Rockset)]
```
Why this weird indirection? Because writing to Rockset requires special
permissions which, for security reasons, we do not want to give to pull request
CI. Instead, we implemented GitHub's [recommended
pattern](https://securitylab.github.com/research/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/)
for cases like this.
