How do I check if GitLab is having issues?

This page checks GitLab availability in real time. You can also monitor GitLab continuously with Visual Sentinel, get instant alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp when GitLab goes down.

How can I get alerted when GitLab goes down?

Set up a free monitor for gitlab.com on Visual Sentinel. You will get alerts within 60 seconds via your choice of 10 notification channels including email, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, and Telegram.

Where is the official GitLab status page?

The official GitLab status page is at https://status.gitlab.com/. However, official status pages often lag behind real outages. Visual Sentinel detects GitLab issues independently with 60-second checks from multiple global regions.

Why do my GitLab CI pipelines queue but never run?

GitLab CI pipelines wait for a runner to pick them up. An incident on the SaaS runner fleet (Linux, Windows, macOS) leaves pipelines waiting indefinitely. Self-hosted runners continue to work during SaaS runner outages. Check if your project uses shared or self-hosted runners.

Does a GitLab outage affect my self-hosted GitLab?

No. gitlab.com (the SaaS tier) and self-managed GitLab instances are completely separate. An outage on gitlab.com does not affect your on-premises GitLab server, though package registry traffic to gitlab.com (e.g. fetching official Docker images) could be affected.

about this service

About GitLab

GitLab is a DevOps platform combining Git hosting, CI/CD, container registry, issue tracking, merge requests, security scanning, and infrastructure-as-code. The gitlab.com SaaS (the hosted tier) and self-managed GitLab (on-premises) have different incident surfaces; this status page covers gitlab.com. Outages typically affect Git operations (push/pull fail), CI/CD (pipelines queue up or fail), the container registry (image pulls fail), the web UI, or webhook deliveries (affecting Slack notifications and custom integrations). GitLab customers often run CI-heavy workflows, so pipeline-queue outages during release cycles are particularly painful.

The official GitLab status page is at status.gitlab.com. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
