Gitlab Runner - Docker Executor

Introduction

"Gitlab Runner - Docker Executor" is a specialized dashboard designed for monitoring GitLab Runners, specifically tailored for Docker executors, starting from version 16.8. This README provides essential information for using the dashboard effectively.

Prerequisites

• Grafana installed and configured
• Prometheus data source configured
• GitLab Runner metrics exported to Prometheus

Usage

• Ensure that monitoring is enabled in the gitlab runner configuration using the listen_addressattribute
• Ensure that each Prometheus static group contains a name attribute to be displayed correctly in this Dashboard.

Example of Gitlab Runner Configuration:

listen_address = ":10000"
concurrent = 4
check_interval = 1
shutdown_timeout = 0

[session_server]
  session_timeout = 1800

[[runners]]
  name = "my-gitlab-runner"

Example of Prometheus Configuration:

To verify if your Prometheus configuration is suitable for this Dashboard, you can use the following command:

...
scrape_configs:
  # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  - job_name: "prometheus"
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["<IP Address Of The Gitlab Runner>:10000"]
        labels:
          name: my-gitlab-runner
