What we monitor for you

Delivery overview

A clear summary of pipelines, jobs, merge requests, deployments, and runners — across any selected time range.

Pipeline status over time

Track trends for success, failed, canceled, skipped, and running pipelines to catch quality drops early.

Pipeline duration & lead time

Monitor averages, peaks, and queue impact to identify slow stages and recurring bottlenecks.

Merge request lead time

Measure time from MR creation to merge. Understand review capacity and optimize your PR workflow.

Deployment & success rate

Separate charts for pipeline and deployment success — quickly spot fragile periods in your release cycle.

Pipeline throughput

See pipelines per hour (or any range) and validate whether your DevOps capacity scales with team growth.

Queue duration & job duration

Understand how long jobs wait vs. run — detect runner shortages and CI misconfigurations fast.

Runner health

Track runner online/offline status and load, and understand their impact on queue times.

Full pipelines table

Drill down quickly with project, branch/ref, status, duration, creation time, and direct links to GitLab.

Pipeline table inside Watchlog

A complete table view of your pipelines helps you validate CI/CD health in seconds and drill down with confidence.

How the GitLab integration works

Watchlog connects via the GitLab API — no agent on runners. Provide a read-only token and Watchlog securely syncs CI/CD signals to build dashboards and alerts.

  1. 1

    Create an access token in GitLab

    Generate a Personal or Project Access Token with minimal permissions (e.g., read_api).

  2. 2

    Configure the integration in Watchlog

    Enter your GitLab URL (gitlab.com or self-hosted), paste the token, and select groups/projects to monitor.

  3. 3

    Dashboards, alerts, and reporting

    Once synced, dashboards go live. Create alerts for lead time increases, success rate drops, or longer queues.

Make delivery performance visible

Connect GitLab in minutes and stop guessing about CI/CD health. Measure, improve, and ship with confidence.

GitLab integration FAQs

Do I need to install anything on runners?

No. Watchlog reads pipeline, job, and merge request data through the GitLab API. You only need a token with minimal read-only permissions.

Do you support self-hosted GitLab?

Yes. Enter your internal GitLab URL and make sure Watchlog can reach it over the network.

How long is data retained?

Retention depends on your plan. Enterprise deployments can use custom retention policies based on your needs.

What alerts can I create?

Create alerts for pipeline failure spikes, lead time increases, longer queues, or throughput drops — and deliver notifications via Webhook, Telegram, or Slack.

Is there an Enterprise option?

Yes. Watchlog can run on a dedicated server with your domain and branding. Your data stays on your infrastructure and public registration can be disabled.
