GitLab Configuration (FREE SELF)

GitLab Performance Monitoring is disabled by default. To enable it and change any of its settings:

1. On the left sidebar, expand the top-most chevron ({chevron-down}).

2. Select Admin Area.

3. On the left sidebar, select Settings > Metrics and profiling (/admin/application_settings/metrics_and_profiling).

4. Add the necessary configuration changes.

5. Restart all GitLab for the changes to take effect:

   • For Linux package installations: sudo gitlab-ctl restart
   • For self-compiled installations: sudo service gitlab restart

NOTE: Removed in GitLab 13.0. Use the Prometheus integration instead.

Pending migrations

When any migrations are pending, the metrics are disabled until the migrations have been performed.
