Gitlab

Connecting Hawkeye to your Gitlab account allows us to collect telemetry data, such as service performance, environment metrics, and application health.

This data enables real-time monitoring and insights into the performance of your applications running on Gitlab.

To integrate Gitlab with Hawkeye, you’ll need an Access Token from your Gitlab account.

Note

For each step, we’ve created a short demo walkthrough and a step-by-step guide. You can check out the demo for a visual guide to setting up your Gitlab connection!
