body: |
|
||
|
|
We previously launched a solution that allows you to view performance metrics by displaying data stored in a Prometheus instance.
|
||
|
|
The Prometheus instance can be set up as a GitLab-managed app or you can connect a previously configured Prometheus instance.
|
||
|
|
The latter is known as an "external Prometheus" in GitLab. The value we provided was to enable you to easily set up monitoring
|
||
|
|
(using GitLab Managed Apps) and have the visualization of the metrics all in the same tool you used to build the application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, as we are removing certificate-based integrations, the full monitoring experience is also deprecated as you will not
|
||
|
|
have the option to easily set up Prometheus from GitLab. Furthermore, we plan to consolidate on
|
||
|
|
a focused observability dashboard experience instead of having multiple paths to view metrics. Because of this, we are also removing the external
|
||
|
|
Prometheus experience, together with the metrics visualization capability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This removal only refers to the GitLab Metrics capabilities, and **does not** include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Deprecating [alerts for Prometheus](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338834).
|
||
|
|
- [Capabilities that GitLab comes with that allow operators of GitLab to retrieve metrics from those instances](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/monitoring/prometheus/gitlab_metrics.html).
