More granular product usage insights for GitLab Self-Managed and Dedicated
Mar 26, 2025Tanuja Jayarama Raju
Summary
Introduces the enablement of event-level product usage data collection from GitLab Self-Managed and GitLab Dedicated instances in GitLab 18.0. This new capability will track product usage interactions like CI/CD pipeline initiation, merge request completion, webhook triggers, and issue creation. User identifiers will be pseudonymized, and source code will not be collected. The goal is to provide more granular insights for performance analysis, optimization, trend discovery, and product improvements.
