GitLab provides some monitoring endpoints that provide health check information when probed.

To control access to those endpoints through IP allowlisting, you can add single hosts or use IP ranges:

{{< tab title=”Linux package (Omnibus)” >}}

1. Open /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and add or uncomment the following:

   gitlab_rails['monitoring_whitelist'] = ['127.0.0.0/8', '192.168.0.1']
   

2. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect.

{{< tab title=”Helm chart (Kubernetes)” >}}

You can set the required IPs under the gitlab.webservice.monitoring.ipWhitelist key. For example:

gitlab:
   webservice:
      monitoring:
         # Monitoring IP allowlist
         ipWhitelist:
         - 0.0.0.0/0 # Default

{{< /tab >}}

{{< tab title=”Self-compiled (source)” >}}

1. Edit config/gitlab.yml:

   monitoring:
     # by default only local IPs are allowed to access monitoring resources
     ip_whitelist:
       - 127.0.0.0/8
       - 192.168.0.1
   

2. Save the file and restart GitLab for the changes to take effect.
