GitLab Pipelines

The GitLab Pipelines connector imports your CI/CD pipelines into Logilica so build performance and reliability feed into the Build dashboard, and — once deployment detection is configured — the DORA metrics.

Authentication

GitLab pipeline data is imported through your existing GitLab connection — there is no separate connector to configure. Once GitLab is connected, Logilica imports pipeline data for each project automatically. See Connecting Tools for how to set up the GitLab connection.

What's Imported

For each project, Logilica imports finished pipelines and the work beneath them:

• Pipelines — identified by their branch reference and trigger source, with a link to the pipeline on GitLab

• Timestamps — created, started, and finished times

• Build outcome — whether the pipeline succeeded, failed, or was cancelled

• Triggering user — the user that ran the pipeline

• Commit and branch — the commit and branch the pipeline ran against

• Merge request associations — where a pipeline ran against a merge request reference, the associated merge request is linked

• Stages and jobs — every job in the pipeline, grouped by its stage

How Logilica Maps the Data

Build outcomes are normalised so that success, failure, and cancelled results are consistent across every CI/CD platform Logilica supports.

Only finished pipelines are imported. Logilica requests pipelines that have completed, so runs that are still in progress are left out until they finish and are picked up on a later scan.

Good to Know

• Kept in sync automatically. After the initial import, Logilica refreshes this connection on a regular schedule — you don't need to re-trigger imports.

• First import covers the last 6 months. The initial scan imports pipelines updated within the last 6 months. Importing older history requires a configuration change by Logilica — contact support.

• Release detection flags deployments. Logilica runs release detection over imported builds, flagging the pipelines that represent deployments so they can power your DORA metrics.

• Up to 1000 pipelines per project. Logilica imports up to the most recent 1000 finished pipelines per project at onboarding. Future pipelines are added to the stored history as they complete.

• It feeds Build and DORA. Imported pipelines power the Build dashboard (build frequency, reliability, speed, and recovery time) and, once Release Detection is configured, the DORA metrics.

• Push your own build data. If you run builds that this connector doesn't cover, you can send them via the Build Data Import API.
