gitlab-exporter error: ValueError: timestamp does not conform to RFC 3339

[spirrello]

Hello,

I've tried versions 1.0.13, 1.0.14 and will probably continue down the list but I keep getting this error. Can you suggest a fix?

Here is how I'm running the container in my pipelines:

docker run --rm --name gle \
      --env CI_PARENT_PIPELINE=${CI_PIPELINE_ID} \
      --env CI_PROJECT_ID=${CI_PROJECT_ID} \
      --env GLAB_CONVERT_TO_TIMESTAMP=true \
      --env GLAB_ENDPOINT="https://my-internal-gitlab-server.example.com/" \
      --env GLAB_TOKEN=${GITLAB_PIPELINE_TOKEN} \
      --env NEW_RELIC_API_KEY=${NEW_RELIC_API_KEY} \
      dpacheconr/gitlab-exporter:1.0.13

Interesting enough is that if I rerun the job it succeeds.

The error usually means the parent trace timestamp is incorrect format, can happen when pipeline hasn't finished. gitlab exporter -> needs to be run as part of your pipeline as triggered job more information here https://newrelic.com/blog/how-to-relic/monitor-gitlab-with-opentelemetry The reason it works when you re-run is because the json returned from gitlab api already contains the end timestamp(finished_at), so it's parsed correctly.

gitlab metrics exporter -> can be run on schedule outside your normal pipelines, as pipeline schedule or as standalone container
