View GitLab data in Observe


GitLab Activity dashboard

The GitLab Activity dashboard provides a high-level overview of your organization's output, with information on the following activities:

  • Commits by project and author
  • Merge request status
  • Queued, running, and completed jobs
  • Runner status

Use the Activity dashboard to help troubleshoot build problems and view activity over time. Use it to answer questions such as:

  • Which jobs are failing or unresponsive?
  • Were there any relevant commits around the time of an emergent issue?
  • Were there merge requests merged during a specific time frame?
  • Are runners or their jobs having issues?

GitLab Administration dashboard

Get an overview of your organizations for administrative and security purposes, with insights about these parameters:

  • Groups
  • Projects
  • Issues
  • Members

The Administration dashboard displays an overview of members, projects, groups/subgroups in your organizations, recently updated project information, and created, updated, or closed issues.
