gitlab_service_apdex is not documented in GitLab Prometheus metrics | GitLab but other apdex metrics. Where did you read about this specific metric name?

Hello @dnsmichi,

I have my own runners to execute the CI/CD jobs (Gitlab-runners run on my own host).
I can access the runners metrics at: http://my-host:9252/metrics

I have downloaded a dashboard from “Grafana Labs” that uses the metric “gitlab_service_apdex”.

Is there actually a metric with the name “gitlab_service_apdex” ? unter http://my-host:9252/metrics is also not available !

thank you

Thanks for the details.

Can you share a link to the Grafana Labs dashboard? It seems that this dashboard uses a different data source.

From the screenshots, it looks like this dashboard is copied from GitLab.com SaaS and the GitLab infrastructure team who maintains their own dashboards and metrics collection. Monitoring of GitLab.com | The GitLab Handbook

@dnsmichi sorry, you are right ! this Dashboard is copied from Gitlab.com and not “Grafana Lab” !
