GitLab Integration

GitLab is a web-based Git-repository manager providing wiki, issue-tracking and CI/CD pipeline features. This integration installs and configures Telegraf to send GitLab metrics into Tanzu Observability. Telegraf is a light-weight server process capable of collecting, processing, aggregating, and sending metrics to a Wavefront proxy.

In addition to setting up the metrics flow, this integration also installs a dashboard. Here’s a section of a dashboard displaying GitLab metrics:
