# GitLab Prometheus metrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>**Note:**
|
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
|
|
|
Available since [Omnibus GitLab 9.3][29118]. For
|
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30
|
|
|
installations from source you'll have to configure it yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To enable the GitLab Prometheus metrics:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Log into GitLab as an administrator, and go to the Admin area.
|
|
|
|
|
1. Click on the gear, then click on Settings.
|
|
|
|
|
1. Find the `Metrics - Prometheus` section, and click `Enable Prometheus Metrics`
|
|
|
|
|
1. [Restart GitLab][restart] for the changes to take effect
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Collecting the metrics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab monitors its own internal service metrics, and makes them available at the
|
|
|
|
|
`/-/metrics` endpoint. Unlike other [Prometheus] exporters, in order to access
|
|
|
|
|
it, the client IP needs to be [included in a whitelist][whitelist].
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Currently the embedded Prometheus server is not automatically configured to
|
|
|
|
|
collect metrics from this endpoint. We recommend setting up another Prometheus
|
|
|
|
|
server, because the embedded server configuration is overwritten once every
|
|
|
|
|
[reconfigure of GitLab][reconfigure]. In the future this will not be required.

## Metrics shared directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab's Prometheus client requires a directory to store metrics data shared between multi-process services.
|
|
|
|
|
Those files are shared among all instances running under Unicorn server.
|
|
|
|
|
The directory needs to be accessible to all running Unicorn's processes otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
metrics will not function correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For best performance its advisable that this directory will be located in `tmpfs`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its location is configured using environment variable `prometheus_multiproc_dir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If GitLab is installed using Omnibus and `tmpfs` is available then metrics
|
|
|
|
|
directory will be automatically configured.
