- joshlambert 9y agoHi Eduard, Our monitoring functionality leverages Prometheus (https://prometheus.io https://prometheus.io) to capture and monitor systems and applications. There is support for a wide variety of common apps (https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/ https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/), and developers can always further instrument their own code as well. In the near term, our GitLab and Prometheus integration is focused on detecting performance changes on key metrics like latency, throughput, and error rates. Then leveraging our knowledge of the code base and CI/CD, funneling that feedback back to developers and the changes that introduced them. Metrics in 9.4.0: https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/metrics.html https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/integrations/prometh... This will likely not replace a dedicated monitoring solution like New Relic or Nagios, but can augment them and surface performance analytics within the tool developers are already using daily. We'd love it if you give it a try and pass over feedback!
