Create Kibana dashboards for GitHub release tags
Give each release a named monitoring surface the moment its tag exists.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
Action

Why this helps
Release monitoring is rebuilt under pressure and then forgotten after the launch.
- Standardizes release observation
- Keeps release context discoverable
