GitLab CI Connector

The GitLab CI connector lets you connect your GitLab CE/EE instance or your gitlab.com account to the BuildMonitor.

Requirements

1. GitLab CE/EE server or a gitlab.com account

Setup and Configuration

1. Generate a token

   To connect to GitLab you need a user token. We recommend creating an own BuildMonitor user for this, but this is optional. If you create an own user it needs at minimum Reporter rights for a project to read the necessary information.

   1. Open GitLab and click on your profile picture on the top right.
      
   2. Click on Settings.
      
   3. On the left menu select Access Tokens.
      
   4. Enter a Name (e.g. BuildMonitor), leave Expires at blank, tick api and click Create personal access token.
      
   5. Copy and/or save the access token.
      

2. Open the BuildMonitor settings.
   

3. Add the GitLab CI connector.
   

4. Enter GitLab CI Server. It is the server address including https:// e.g. https://gitlab.mycompany.com/. Afterwards paste the token generated in step 1.
   

5. Click Save.
   

6. If you don't see your projects check the troubleshooting section.
