# GitLab instance administration project
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
This feature is not yet available and is [planned for 12.6](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/32351).
|
|
|
|
GitLab has been adding the ability for administrators to see insights into the health of
|
|
their GitLab instance. In order to surface this experience in a native way, similar to how
|
|
you would interact with an application deployed via GitLab, a base project called
|
|
"GitLab Instance Administration" with
|
|
[internal visibility](../../../public_access/public_access.md#internal-projects) will be
|
|
added under a group called "GitLab Instance Administrators" specifically created for
|
|
visualizing and configuring the monitoring of your GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
All administrators at the time of creation of the project and group will be added
|
|
as maintainers of the group and project, and as an admin, you'll be able to add new
|
|
members to the group in order to give them maintainer access to the project.
|
|
|
|
This project will be used for self-monitoring your GitLab instance.
|
|
|
|
## Connection to Prometheus
|
|
|
|
The project will be automatically configured to connect to the
|
|
[internal Prometheus](../prometheus/index.md) instance if the Prometheus
|
|
instance is present (should be the case if GitLab was installed via Omnibus
|
|
and you haven't disabled it).
|
|
|
|
If that's not the case or if you have an external Prometheus instance or an HA setup,
|
|
you should
|
|
[configure it manually](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#manual-configuration-of-prometheus).
|
|
|
|
## Taking action on Prometheus alerts **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
You can [add a webhook](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#external-prometheus-instances)
|
|
to the Prometheus config in order for GitLab to receive notifications of any alerts.
|
|
|
|
Once the webhook is setup, you can
|
|
[take action on incoming alerts](../../../user/project/integrations/prometheus.md#taking-action-on-incidents-ultimate).
