Overview
Token-counter is a program that polls github to see how much of a token's
ratelimit has been used.
Github doesn't report how many requests you've used, and instead reports
how many request you have left before the rate-limit resets.
In order to do that, we poll more and more aggressively as we get near to the reset
time. Once the reset happens, we compute the difference between Limit
and
Remaining
giving us how much we've used in the last hour.
Deploying
token-counter is fairly easy to deploy, and can keep track of multiple keys at
the same time. The result will be pushed to an InfluxDB.
Make a github-tokens
secret with each of your tokens in there:
kubectl create secret generic github-tokens --from-file=token1=token1 ...
Change deployment.yaml
to have --token=token1
for each of your token. Also
make sure the influxdb is properly configured.
Deploy the token-counter:
kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
