Insights for groups (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab 12.0.

Configure Insights to explore data about you group's activity, such as triage hygiene, issues created or closed in a given period, and average time for merge requests to be merged.

  2. On the top bar, select Main menu > Groups and find your group.
  3. On the left sidebar, select Settings > General.
  4. Expand Insights.
  5. Select the project that contains your .gitlab/insights.yml configuration file.
  6. Select Save changes.
