# Log system **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab has an advanced log system where everything is logged, so you can analyze your instance using various system log
|
|
files. The log system is similar to [audit events](../audit_events.md).
|
|
|
|
System log files are typically plain text in a standard log file format.
|
|
This guide talks about how to read and use these system log files.
|
|
|
|
Read more about the log system and using the logs:
|
|
|
|
- [Customize logging on Omnibus GitLab installations](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/logs.html)
|
|
including adjusting log retention, log forwarding,
|
|
switching logs from JSON to plain text logging, and more.
|
|
- [How to parse and analyze JSON logs](../logs/log_parsing.md).
|
|
|
|
## Log Levels
|
|
|
|
Each log message has an assigned log level that indicates its importance and verbosity.
|
|
Each logger has an assigned minimum log level.
|
|
A logger emits a log message only if its log level is equal to or above the minimum log level.
|
|
|
|
The following log levels are supported:
|
|
|
|
| Level | Name |
|
|
|:------|:----------|
|
|
| 0 | `DEBUG` |
|
|
| 1 | `INFO` |
|
|
| 2 | `WARN` |
|
|
| 3 | `ERROR` |
|
|
| 4 | `FATAL` |
|
|
| 5 | `UNKNOWN` |
|
|
|
|
GitLab loggers emit all log messages because they are set to `DEBUG` by default.
|
|
|
|
### Override default log level
|
|
|
|
You can override the minimum log level for GitLab loggers using the `GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable.
|
|
Valid values are either a value of `0` to `5`, or the name of the log level.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
GITLAB_LOG_LEVEL=info
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For some services, other log levels are in place that are not affected by this setting.
|
|
Some of these services have their own environment variables to override the log level. For example:
|
|
|
|
| Service | Log level | Environment variable |
|
|
|:---------------------|:----------|:---------------------|
|
|
| GitLab API | `INFO` | |
|
|
| GitLab Cleanup | `INFO` | `DEBUG` |
|
|
| GitLab Doctor | `INFO` | `VERBOSE` |
|
|
| GitLab Export | `INFO` | `EXPORT_DEBUG` |
|
|
| GitLab Geo | `INFO` | |
|
|
| GitLab Import | `INFO` | `IMPORT_DEBUG` |
|
|
| GitLab QA Runtime | `INFO` | `QA_LOG_LEVEL` |
|
|
| Google APIs | `INFO` | |
|
|
| Rack Timeout | `ERROR` | |
|
|
| Sidekiq (server) | `INFO` | |
|
|
| Snowplow Tracker | `FATAL` | |
|
|
| gRPC Client (Gitaly) | `WARN` | `GRPC_LOG_LEVEL` |
|
|
|
|
## Log Rotation
|
|
|
|
The logs for a given service may be managed and rotated by:
|
|
|
|
- `logrotate`
|
|
- `svlogd` (`runit`'s service logging daemon)
|
|
- `logrotate` and `svlogd`
|
|
- Or not at all
|
|
|
|
The following table includes information about what's responsible for managing and rotating logs for
|
|
the included services. Logs
|
|
[managed by `svlogd`](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/logs.html#runit-logs)
|
|
are written to a file called `current`. The `logrotate` service built into GitLab
|
|
[manages all logs](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/logs.html#logrotate)
|
|
except those captured by `runit`.
|
|
|
|
| Log type | Managed by logrotate | Managed by svlogd/runit |

## `production_json.log`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/production_json.log`
|
|
|
|
It contains a structured log for Rails controller requests received from
|
|
GitLab, thanks to [Lograge](https://github.com/roidrage/lograge/).
|
|
Requests from the API are logged to a separate file in `api_json.log`.
|
|
|
|
Each line contains JSON that can be ingested by services like Elasticsearch and Splunk.
|
|
Line breaks were added to examples for legibility:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"method":"GET",
|
|
"path":"/gitlab/gitlab-foss/issues/1234",
|
|
"format":"html",
|
|
"controller":"Projects::IssuesController",
|
|
"action":"show",
|
|
"status":200,
|
|
"time":"2017-08-08T20:15:54.821Z",
|
|
"params":[{"key":"param_key","value":"param_value"}],
|
|
"remote_ip":"18.245.0.1",
|
|
"user_id":1,
|
|
"username":"admin",
|
|
"queue_duration_s":0.0,
|
|
"gitaly_calls":16,
|
|
"gitaly_duration_s":0.16,
|
|
"redis_calls":115,
|
|
"redis_duration_s":0.13,
|
|
"redis_read_bytes":1507378,
|
|
"redis_write_bytes":2920,
|
|
"correlation_id":"O1SdybnnIq7",
|
|
"cpu_s":17.50,
|
|
"db_duration_s":0.08,
|
|
"view_duration_s":2.39,
|
|
"duration_s":20.54,
|
|
"pid": 81836,
|
|
"worker_id":"puma_0"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This example was a GET request for a specific
|
|
issue. Each line also contains performance data, with times in
|
|
seconds:
|
|
|
|
- `duration_s`: Total time to retrieve the request
|
|
- `queue_duration_s`: Total time the request was queued inside GitLab Workhorse
|
|
- `view_duration_s`: Total time inside the Rails views
|
|
- `db_duration_s`: Total time to retrieve data from PostgreSQL
|
|
- `cpu_s`: Total time spent on CPU
|
|
- `gitaly_duration_s`: Total time by Gitaly calls
|
|
- `gitaly_calls`: Total number of calls made to Gitaly
|
|
- `redis_calls`: Total number of calls made to Redis
|
|
- `redis_cross_slot_calls`: Total number of cross-slot calls made to Redis
|
|
- `redis_allowed_cross_slot_calls`: Total number of allowed cross-slot calls made to Redis
|
|
- `redis_duration_s`: Total time to retrieve data from Redis
|
|
- `redis_read_bytes`: Total bytes read from Redis
|
|
- `redis_write_bytes`: Total bytes written to Redis
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_calls`: Total number of calls made to a Redis instance
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_cross_slot_calls`: Total number of cross-slot calls made to a Redis instance
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_allowed_cross_slot_calls`: Total number of allowed cross-slot calls made to a Redis instance
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_duration_s`: Total time to retrieve data from a Redis instance
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_read_bytes`: Total bytes read from a Redis instance
|
|
- `redis_<instance>_write_bytes`: Total bytes written to a Redis instance
|
|
- `pid`: The worker's Linux process ID (changes when workers restart)
|
|
- `worker_id`: The worker's logical ID (does not change when workers restart)
|
|
|
|
User clone and fetch activity using HTTP transport appears in the log as `action: git_upload_pack`.
|
|
|
|
In addition, the log contains the originating IP address,
|
|
(`remote_ip`), the user's ID (`user_id`), and username (`username`).
|
|
|
|
Some endpoints (such as `/search`) may make requests to Elasticsearch if using
|
|
[advanced search](../../user/search/advanced_search.md). These
|
|
additionally log `elasticsearch_calls` and `elasticsearch_call_duration_s`,
|
|
which correspond to:
|
|
|
|
- `elasticsearch_calls`: Total number of calls to Elasticsearch
|
|
- `elasticsearch_duration_s`: Total time taken by Elasticsearch calls
|
|
- `elasticsearch_timed_out_count`: Total number of calls to Elasticsearch that
|
|
timed out and therefore returned partial results
|
|
|
|
ActionCable connection and subscription events are also logged to this file and they follow the
|
|
previous format. The `method`, `path`, and `format` fields are not applicable, and are always empty.
|
|
The ActionCable connection or channel class is used as the `controller`.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"method":null,
|
|
"path":null,
|
|
"format":null,
|
|
"controller":"IssuesChannel",
|
|
"action":"subscribe",
|
|
"status":200,
|
|
"time":"2020-05-14T19:46:22.008Z",
|
|
"params":[{"key":"project_path","value":"gitlab/gitlab-foss"},{"key":"iid","value":"1"}],

"correlation_id":"jSOIEynHCUa",
|
|
"duration_s":0.32566
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
Starting with GitLab 12.5, if an error occurs, an
|
|
`exception` field is included with `class`, `message`, and
|
|
`backtrace`. Previous versions included an `error` field instead of
|
|
`exception.class` and `exception.message`. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|

## `production.log`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/production.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/production.log`
|
|
|
|
It contains information about all performed requests. You can see the
|
|
URL and type of request, IP address, and what parts of code were
|
|
involved to service this particular request. Also, you can see all SQL
|
|
requests performed, and how much time each took. This task is
|
|
more useful for GitLab contributors and developers. Use part of this log
|
|
file when you're reporting bugs. For example:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
In this example, the server processed an HTTP request with URL
|
|
`/gitlabhq/yaml_db/tree/master` from IP `168.111.56.1` at `2015-02-12 19:34:53 +0200`.
|
|
The request was processed by `Projects::TreeController`.
|
|
|
|
## `api_json.log`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/api_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/api_json.log`
|
|
|
|
It helps you see requests made directly to the API. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"time":"2018-10-29T12:49:42.123Z",
|
|
"severity":"INFO",
|
|
"duration":709.08,
|
|
"db":14.59,
|
|
"view":694.49,
|
|
"status":200,
|
|
"method":"GET",
|
|
"path":"/api/v4/projects",
|
|
"params":[{"key":"action","value":"git-upload-pack"},{"key":"changes","value":"_any"},{"key":"key_id","value":"secret"},{"key":"secret_token","value":"[FILTERED]"}],
|
|
"host":"localhost",
|
|
"remote_ip":"::1",
|
|
"ua":"Ruby",
|
|
"route":"/api/:version/projects",
|
|
"user_id":1,
|
|
"username":"root",
|
|
"queue_duration":100.31,
|
|
"gitaly_calls":30,
|
|
"gitaly_duration":5.36,
|
|
"pid": 81836,
|
|
"worker_id": "puma_0",
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This entry shows an internal endpoint accessed to check whether an
|
|
associated SSH key can download the project in question by using a `git fetch` or
|
|
`git clone`. In this example, we see:
|
|
|
|
- `duration`: Total time in milliseconds to retrieve the request
|
|
- `queue_duration`: Total time in milliseconds the request was queued inside GitLab Workhorse
|
|
- `method`: The HTTP method used to make the request
|
|
- `path`: The relative path of the query
|
|
- `params`: Key-value pairs passed in a query string or HTTP body (sensitive parameters, such as passwords and tokens, are filtered out)
|
|
- `ua`: The User-Agent of the requester
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
As of [`Grape Logging`](https://github.com/aserafin/grape_logging) v1.8.4,
|
|
the `view_duration_s` is calculated by [`duration_s - db_duration_s`](https://github.com/aserafin/grape_logging/blob/v1.8.4/lib/grape_logging/middleware/request_logger.rb#L117-L119).
|
|
Therefore, `view_duration_s` can be affected by multiple different factors, like read-write
|
|
process on Redis or external HTTP, not only the serialization process.
|
|
|
|
## `application.log` (deprecated)
|
|
|
|
> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/111046) in GitLab 15.10.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/application.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/application.log`
|
|
|
|
It contains a less structured version of the logs in
|
|
[`application_json.log`](#application_jsonlog), like this example:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
October 06, 2014 11:56: User "Administrator" (admin@example.com) was created
|
|
October 06, 2014 11:56: Documentcloud created a new project "Documentcloud / Underscore"
|
|
October 06, 2014 11:56: Gitlab Org created a new project "Gitlab Org / Gitlab Ce"
|
|
October 07, 2014 11:25: User "Claudie Hodkiewicz" (nasir_stehr@olson.co.uk) was removed
|
|
October 07, 2014 11:25: Project "project133" was removed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## `application_json.log`
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/22812) in GitLab 12.7.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/application_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/application_json.log`
|
|
|
|
It helps you discover events happening in your instance such as user creation
|
|
and project deletion. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"severity":"INFO",

## `kubernetes.log` (deprecated)
|
|
|
|
> [Deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/kubernetes.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/kubernetes.log`
|
|
|
|
It logs information related to [certificate-based clusters](../../user/project/clusters/index.md), such as connectivity errors. Each line contains JSON that can be ingested by services like Elasticsearch and Splunk.
|
|
|
|
## `git_json.log`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/git_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/git_json.log`
|
|
|
|
After GitLab version 12.2, this file was renamed from `githost.log` to
|
|
`git_json.log` and stored in JSON format.
|
|
|
|
GitLab has to interact with Git repositories, but in some rare cases
|
|
something can go wrong. If this happens, you need to know exactly what
|
|
happened. This log file contains all failed requests from GitLab to Git
|
|
repositories. In the majority of cases this file is useful for developers
|
|
only. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"severity":"ERROR",
|
|
"time":"2019-07-19T22:16:12.528Z",
|
|
"correlation_id":"FeGxww5Hj64",
|
|
"message":"Command failed [1]: /usr/bin/git --git-dir=/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/gitlab/tmp/tests/gitlab-satellites/group184/gitlabhq/.git --work-tree=/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/gitlab/tmp/tests/gitlab-satellites/group184/gitlabhq merge --no-ff -mMerge branch 'feature_conflict' into 'feature' source/feature_conflict\n\nerror: failed to push some refs to '/Users/vsizov/gitlab-development-kit/repositories/gitlabhq/gitlab_git.git'"
|

}
|
|
```

|
## `audit_json.log` **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
GitLab Free tracks a small number of different audit events.
|
|
GitLab Premium tracks many more.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/audit_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/audit_json.log`
|
|
|
|

## Sidekiq logs
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
In Omnibus GitLab `12.10` or earlier, the Sidekiq log is at `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sidekiq.log`.
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus GitLab installations, some Sidekiq logs are in `/var/log/gitlab/sidekiq/current`
|
|
and as follows.
|
|
|
|
### `sidekiq.log`
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/sidekiq/current`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/sidekiq.log`
|
|
|
|
GitLab uses background jobs for processing tasks which can take a long
|
|
time. All information about processing these jobs are written down to
|
|
this file. For example:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
2014-06-10T07:55:20Z 2037 TID-tm504 ERROR: /opt/bitnami/apps/discourse/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/redis-3.0.7/lib/redis/client.rb:228:in `read'

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of the previous format, you can opt to generate JSON logs for
|
|
Sidekiq. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"severity":"INFO",
|
|
"time":"2018-04-03T22:57:22.071Z",

|
|
"db_duration":0.05,
|
|
"db_duration_s":0.0005,
|
|
"gitaly_duration":0,
|
|
"gitaly_calls":0
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For Omnibus GitLab installations, add the configuration option:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
sidekiq['log_format'] = 'json'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For installations from source, edit the `gitlab.yml` and set the Sidekiq
|
|
`log_format` configuration option:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
## Sidekiq
|
|
sidekiq:
|
|
log_format: json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `sidekiq_client.log`
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/26586) in GitLab 12.9.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This file contains logging information about jobs before Sidekiq starts
|
|
processing them, such as before being enqueued.
|
|
|
|
This log file follows the same structure as
|
|
[`sidekiq.log`](#sidekiqlog), so it is structured as JSON if
|
|
you've configured this for Sidekiq as mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
## `gitlab-shell.log`

## `migrations.log`
|
|
|
|
> Introduced in GitLab 12.3.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/migrations.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/migrations.log`
|
|
|
|
This file logs the progress of [database migrations](../raketasks/maintenance.md#display-status-of-database-migrations).
|
|
|
|
## `mail_room_json.log` (default)
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/19186) in GitLab 12.6.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/mailroom/current`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/mail_room_json.log`
|
|
|
|
This structured log file records internal activity in the `mail_room` gem.
|
|
Its name and path are configurable, so the name and path may not match the above.
|
|
|
|
## Reconfigure logs
|
|
|
|
Reconfigure log files are in `/var/log/gitlab/reconfigure` for Omnibus GitLab
|
|
packages. Installations from source don't have reconfigure logs. A reconfigure log
|
|
is populated whenever `gitlab-ctl reconfigure` is run manually or as part of an upgrade.
|
|
|
|
Reconfigure logs files are named according to the UNIX timestamp of when the reconfigure
|
|
was initiated, such as `1509705644.log`
|
|
|
|
## `sidekiq_exporter.log` and `web_exporter.log`
|
|
|
|
If Prometheus metrics and the Sidekiq Exporter are both enabled, Sidekiq
|
|
starts a Web server and listen to the defined port (default:
|
|
`8082`). By default, Sidekiq Exporter access logs are disabled but can
|
|
be enabled based on your installation method:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: Use the `sidekiq['exporter_log_enabled'] = true`
|
|
option in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`
|
|
- Installations from source: Use the `sidekiq_exporter.log_enabled` option
|
|
in `gitlab.yml`
|
|
|
|
When enabled, depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/sidekiq_exporter.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/sidekiq_exporter.log`
|
|
|
|
If Prometheus metrics and the Web Exporter are both enabled, Puma
|
|
starts a Web server and listen to the defined port (default: `8083`), and access logs
|
|
are generated in a location based on your installation method:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/web_exporter.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/web_exporter.log`
|
|
|

|
and files. Each line in the file contains a separate JSON entry that can be
|
|
ingested into (for example, Elasticsearch or Splunk).
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"severity":"INFO","time":"2017-08-06T05:40:16.104Z","message":"Repository update","project_id":1,"source":"repository","resync_repository":true,"resync_wiki":true,"class":"Gitlab::Geo::LogCursor::Daemon","cursor_delay_s":0.038}

|
|
|
## Performance bar stats
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/48149) in GitLab 13.7.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your installation method, this file is located at:
|
|
|
|
- Omnibus GitLab: `/var/log/gitlab/gitlab-rails/performance_bar_json.log`
|
|
- Installations from source: `/home/git/gitlab/log/performance_bar_json.log`
|
|
|
|
Performance bar statistics (currently only duration of SQL queries) are recorded
|
|
in that file. For example:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"severity":"INFO","time":"2020-12-04T09:29:44.592Z","correlation_id":"33680b1490ccd35981b03639c406a697","filename":"app/models/ci/pipeline.rb","method_path":"app/models/ci/pipeline.rb:each_with_object","request_id":"rYHomD0VJS4","duration_ms":26.889,"count":2,"query_type": "active-record"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These statistics are logged on .com only, disabled on self-deployments.
|
|
|
|
## Gathering logs
|
|
|
|
When [troubleshooting](../troubleshooting/index.md) issues that aren't localized to one of the
|
|
previously listed components, it's helpful to simultaneously gather multiple logs and statistics
|
|
from a GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
NOTE:
|
|
GitLab Support often asks for one of these, and maintains the required tools.
|
|
|
|
### Briefly tail the main logs
|
|
|
|
If the bug or error is readily reproducible, save the main GitLab logs
|
|
[to a file](../troubleshooting/linux_cheat_sheet.md#files-and-directories) while reproducing the
|
|
problem a few times:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sudo gitlab-ctl tail | tee /tmp/<case-ID-and-keywords>.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Conclude the log gathering with <kbd>Control</kbd> + <kbd>C</kbd>.
|
|
|
|
### GitLabSOS
|
|
|
|
If performance degradations or cascading errors occur that can't readily be attributed to one
|
|
of the previously listed GitLab components, [GitLabSOS](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/gitlabsos/)
|
|
can provide a broader perspective of the GitLab instance. For more details and instructions
|
|
to run it, read [the GitLabSOS documentation](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/gitlabsos/#gitlabsos).
|
|
|
|
### Fast-stats
|
|
|
|
[Fast-stats](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/fast-stats) is a tool
|
|
for creating and comparing performance statistics from GitLab logs.
|
|
For more details and instructions to run it, read the
|
|
[documentation for fast-stats](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support/toolbox/fast-stats#usage).
|
|
|
|
## Find relevant log entries with a correlation ID
|
|
|
|
Most requests have a log ID that can be used to [find relevant log entries](tracing_correlation_id.md).
|
