Difference between the job being created and starting

[apj0nes]

Hey @cpanato ,
We have multiple runner groups and would like to visualise how long it is taking for a job to be picked up by a runner in a runner group i.e. difference between the job being created and starting. We would like to compare how long on average it is taking for a runner-groups to pick up and begin executing the workflow jobs.
Is this something that could be achieved with the current implementation? I have deployed the exporter but it is not clear to me from the code and the exported metrics if they are relevant to my use case.
I would appreciate your advice and if changes need to be made to the code base, I would be happy to contribute.
Thanks

i think we are not capturing the queue part right now (see https://github.com/cpanato/github_actions_exporter/blob/main/internal/server/workflow_metrics_exporter.go#L115 if i am not wrong)

if you want to add that to start capture will be nice
