Integration that allows to:

• Visualize and monitor metrics collected with GitLab and Gitaly through Prometheus

See Monitoring GitLab with Prometheus for more information.

The GitLab check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don't need to install anything else on your GitLab servers.

To configure this check for an Agent running on a host:

1. Edit the gitlab.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory, to point to the GitLab's metrics endpoint. See the sample gitlab.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options. If you previously implemented this integration, see the legacy example.

2. In the GitLab settings page, ensure that the option Enable Prometheus Metrics is enabled (administrator access is required). For more information on how to enable metric collection, see GitLab Prometheus metrics.

3. Allow access to monitoring endpoints by updating your /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb to include the following line:

   gitlab_rails['monitoring_whitelist'] = ['127.0.0.0/8', '192.168.0.1']
   

   Note Save and restart GitLab to see the changes.

4. Restart the Agent.

1. Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent, enable it in your datadog.yaml file:

   logs_enabled: true

2. Next, edit gitlab.d/conf.yaml by uncommenting the logs lines at the bottom. Update the logs path with the correct path to your GitLab log files.

     logs:
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production_json.log
         service: '<SERVICE_NAME>'
         source: gitlab
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log
         service: '<SERVICE_NAME>'
         source: gitlab
       - type: file
         path: /var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/api_json.log
         service: '<SERVICE_NAME>'
         source: gitlab

3. Restart the Agent.

For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying the parameters below.

Collecting logs is disabled by default in the Datadog Agent. To enable it, see Kubernetes Log Collection.

Run the Agent's status subcommand and look for gitlab under the Checks section.

See metadata.csv for a list of metrics provided by this integration.

The GitLab check does not include any events.

See service_checks.json for a list of service checks provided by this integration. More information about the gitlab.readiness.* service checks can be found in the official GitLab documentation.
