gitlab-extra-exporter

This is a Prometheus exporter for Gitlab to get information via the API.

Currently this exporter retrieves the following data:

• All projects within Gitlab
• Retrieves all Merge Request from the last 7 days with:
  • When the MR is opened.
  • When the MR is merged.
  • When the MR is closed.
  • Last update done to the MR.
  • Amount of changes within the MR.
  • Amount of assignees.

Because of the amount of API request done to get the amount of changes on a MR, limit this exporter to be only requested once per 5 minutes for example, with a Service Monitor time out of 30 sec (depending on the amount of MRs).
