# GitLab Configuration
GitLab Performance Monitoring is disabled by default. To enable it and change any of its
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
settings, navigate to **Admin Area > Settings > Metrics and profiling**
(`/admin/application_settings/metrics_and_profiling`).
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
Finally, a restart of all GitLab processes is required for the changes to take
effect:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```shell
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
# For Omnibus installations
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
# For installations from source
sudo service gitlab restart
```
## Pending Migrations
When any migrations are pending, the metrics are disabled until the migrations
have been performed.
