# GitLab Configuration
GitLab Performance Monitoring is disabled by default. To enable it and change any of its
2019-12-19 06:08:05 +00:00
settings, navigate to **Admin Area > Settings > Metrics and profiling**
(`/admin/application_settings/metrics_and_profiling`).
2016-09-25 10:16:14 +00:00
Finally, a restart of all GitLab processes is required for the changes to take
effect:
2020-01-30 15:09:15 +00:00
```shell
2016-09-25 10:16:14 +00:00
# For Omnibus installations
sudo gitlab-ctl restart
# For installations from source
sudo service gitlab restart
```
## Pending Migrations
When any migrations are pending, the metrics are disabled until the migrations
have been performed.
