Polling interval multiplier (FREE SELF)
The GitLab UI polls for updates for different resources (issue notes, issue titles, pipeline statuses, and so on) on a schedule appropriate to the resource.
Adjust the multiplier on these schedules to adjust how frequently the GitLab UI polls for updates. If you set the multiplier to:
- A value greater than
1, UI polling slows down. If you see issues with database load from lots of clients polling for updates, increasing the multiplier can be a good alternative to 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
0and1, the UI polls more frequently so updates occur more frequently. Not recommended. 0, all polling is disabled. On the next poll, clients stop polling for updates.
The default value (1) is recommended for the majority of GitLab installations.
