Integration version1.1.0

Overview

GitLab is a source control and DevOps platform that helps companies make, secure, and deploy software. Integrate with GitLab Audit Events to strengthen security measures, respond to incidents, and adhere to compliance standards. Datadog automatically parses GitLab Audit Events as logs, so you can filter by user ID, IP address, or event name. This helps identify anomalies, like suspicious login attempts or unusual activity. The integration also includes an out-of-the-box dashboard for monitoring activity, which you can customize to meet your needs.

Enhance security and compliance by tracking all GitLab Audit Events — from day-to-day user actions to compliance reports. For instance:

  • Track merge request activity by user and project, including bot actions and changes to project merge policies
  • Generate a report of GPG keys, personal access tokens, and deploy tokens, from creation to removal.

Search for source:gitlab-audit-events to view your GitLab Audit Events in Datadog’s Logs Management product, and leverage Datadog’s analysis tools to improve security, performance, and operational insights.
