# Resource state events API
2020-07-21 20:09:26 -04:00
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/35210/) in GitLab 13.2.
2020-07-16 17:10:05 -04:00
Resource state events keep track of what happens to GitLab [issues ](../user/project/issues/ ) and
[merge requests ](../user/project/merge_requests/ ).
Use them to track which state was set, who did it, and when it happened.
