CAUTION: **Warning:**
|
||
|
|
This feature might not be available to you. Check the **version history** note above for details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage Trends gives you an overview of how much data your instance contains, and how quickly this volume is changing over time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To see Usage Trends, go to **Admin Area > Analytics > Usage Trends**.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
## Total counts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the top of the page, Usage Trends shows total counts for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Users
|
||
|
|
- Projects
|
||
|
|
- Groups
|
||
|
|
- Issues
|
||
|
|
- Merge Requests
|
||
|
|
- Pipelines
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These figures can be useful for understanding how much data your instance contains in total.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Past year trend charts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage Trends also displays line charts that show total counts per month, over the past 12 months,
|
||
|
|
in the categories shown in [Total counts](#total-counts).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These charts help you visualize how rapidly these records are being created on your instance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Enable or disable Usage Trends
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In GitLab version 13.5 only, Usage Trends was under development and not ready for production use.
|
||
|
|
It was deployed behind a feature flag that was **disabled by default**.
|
||
|
|
[GitLab administrators with access to the GitLab Rails console](../../../administration/feature_flags.md)
|
||
|
|
can opt to enable it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To enable it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Feature.enable(:instance_statistics)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To disable it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ruby
|
||
|
|
Feature.disable(:instance_statistics)
|
||
|
|
```
