Polling configuration (FREE SELF)
The GitLab UI polls for updates for different resources (issue notes, issue titles, pipeline statuses, etc.) on a schedule appropriate to the resource.
To configure the polling interval multiplier:
-
On the top bar, select Menu > {admin} Admin.
-
On the left sidebar, select Settings > Preferences.
-
Expand Real-time features.
-
Set a value for the polling interval multiplier. This multiplier is applied to all resources at once, and decimal values are supported:
1.0is the default, and recommended for most installations.0disables UI polling completely. On the next poll, clients stop polling for updates.- A value greater than
1slows polling down. If you see issues with database load from lots of clients polling for updates, increasing the multiplier from 1 can be a good compromise, rather than disabling polling completely. For example, if you set the value to2, all polling intervals are multiplied by 2, which means that polling happens half as frequently. - A value between
0and1makes the UI poll more frequently (so updates show in other sessions faster), but is not recommended.1should be fast enough.
