To enable the Puma exporter: 1. [Enable Prometheus](index.md#configuring-prometheus). 1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` to add (or find and uncomment) the following lines. Make sure `puma['exporter_enabled']` is set to `true`: ```ruby puma['exporter_enabled'] = true puma['exporter_address'] = "127.0.0.1" puma['exporter_port'] = 8083 ``` 1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab](../../restart_gitlab.md#omnibus-gitlab-reconfigure) for the changes to take effect. Prometheus begins collecting performance data from the Puma exporter exposed at `localhost:8083`. For more information on using Puma with GitLab, see [Puma](../../operations/puma.md).
