Thank you for visiting this category strategy page on GitLab self monitoring project. The Self monitoring project is open for community contribution (including non-Development GitLab team members). GitLab instrumentation is currently not in the scope of this project. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to Kevin Chu, group product manager via Zoom or Email
The target audience is primarily ~"Persona: Systems Administrator," in particular the administrators responsible for operating GitLab.
We also plan to allow administrators to expose a user facing status page, to easily communicate the health of the instance and any active incidents.
The Self-monitoring project MVC officially shipped in 12.8. With it GitLab administrators can now gain insights into the health of their GitLab instances. Once activated, a default dashboard with set of KPI's will be available for the project out of the box, users will be able to add metrics to the dashboard from the list of availabe metrics which automatically picked up by our internal Prometheus instance.
The self-monitoring projects now act as a standard GitLab project, its default dashboard is a custom dashboard, the metrics streamed to GitLab's metrics chart in a similar way to a project with manual prometheus configuration.
