Added documentation for GitLab Metrics This adds documentation for the metrics code I recently added. Two notes: * I'm referring to this feature as "GitLab Metrics" everywhere simply because the code resides in the `Gitlab::Metrics` namespace. A different name is fine, though I think just "Metrics" might be a bit too abstract. * Grafana isn't covered since it's fairly straight-forward to setup (there's nothing really special we can cover). I think we _should_ cover it once we start shipping it with Omnibus. I assigned @axil since he's our technical writer/documentation guru, feel free to re-assign if needed. cc @sytses @axil @dzaporozhets @JobV See merge request !2484
GitLab Integration
GitLab integrates with multiple third-party services to allow external issue trackers and external authentication.
See the documentation below for details on how to configure these services.
- Jira Integrate with the JIRA issue tracker
- External issue tracker Redmine, JIRA, etc.
- LDAP Set up sign in via LDAP
- OmniAuth Sign in via Twitter, GitHub, GitLab, and Google via OAuth.
- SAML Configure GitLab as a SAML 2.0 Service Provider
- CAS Configure GitLab to sign in using CAS
- Slack Integrate with the Slack chat service
- OAuth2 provider OAuth2 application creation
- Gmail actions buttons Adds GitLab actions to messages
- reCAPTCHA Configure GitLab to use Google reCAPTCHA for new users
- GitLab Performance Monitoring Configure GitLab and InfluxDB for measuring performance metrics
GitLab Enterprise Edition contains advanced Jenkins support.
Project services
Integration with services such as Campfire, Flowdock, Gemnasium, HipChat, Pivotal Tracker, and Slack are available in the form of a Project Service. You can find these within GitLab in the Services page under Project Settings if you are at least a master on the project. Project Services are a bit like plugins in that they allow a lot of freedom in adding functionality to GitLab. For example there is also a service that can send an email every time someone pushes new commits.
Because GitLab is open source we can ship with the code and tests for all plugins. This allows the community to keep the plugins up to date so that they always work in newer GitLab versions.
For an overview of what projects services are available without logging in, please see the project_services directory.
