Tracing (DEPRECATED) (FREE)

Tracing provides insight into the performance and health of a deployed application, tracking each function or microservice that handles a given request. Tracing makes it easy to understand the end-to-end flow of a request, regardless of whether you are using a monolithic or distributed system.

Install Jaeger

Jaeger is an open source, end-to-end distributed tracing system used for monitoring and troubleshooting microservices-based distributed systems. To learn more about installing Jaeger, read the official Getting Started documentation.

  2. Navigate to your project's Settings > Monitor and provide the Jaeger URL.
  3. Click Save changes for the changes to take effect.
  4. You can now visit Monitor > Tracing in your project's sidebar and GitLab redirects you to the configured Jaeger URL.
