# Product Analytics **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/225167) in GitLab 13.3 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `product_analytics`. Disabled by default.
|
|
|
|
FLAG:
|
|
On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available per project or for your entire instance, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `product_analytics`. On GitLab.com, this feature is not available. The feature is not ready for production use.
|
|
|
|
GitLab enables you to go from planning an application to getting feedback. You can use
|
|
Product Analytics to receive and analyze events sent from your application. This analysis
|
|
provides observability information and feedback on how people use your product.
|
|
|
|
Events are collected by a [Rails collector](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/36443) and
|
|
then processed with [Snowplow](https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow). Events are stored in a GitLab database.
|
|
|
|
## View Product Analytics
|
|
|
|
You can view the event data collected about your applications.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite:
|
|
|
|
- You must have at least the Reporter role.
|
|
|
|
To access Product Analytics:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Monitor > Product Analytics**.
|
|
|
|
The Product Analytics interface contains:
|
|
|
|
- An Events tab that shows the recent events and a total count.
|
|
- A Graph tab that shows graphs based on events of the last 30 days.
|
|
- A Test tab that sends a sample event payload.
|
|
- A Setup page containing the code to implement in your application.
|
|
|
|
## Rate limits
|
|
|
|
While Product Analytics is under development, it's rate-limited to
|
|
**100 events per minute** per project. This limit prevents the events table in the
|
|
database from growing too quickly.
