## Monitoring environments
>**Notes:**
>
- For the monitor dashboard to appear, you need to:
- Have enabled the [Kubernetes integration][kube]
- Have your app deployed on Kubernetes
- Have enabled the [Prometheus integration][prom]
- With GitLab 9.2, all deployments to an environment are shown directly on the
monitoring dashboard
If your application is deployed on Kubernetes and you have enabled Prometheus
collecting metrics, you can monitor the performance behavior of your app
through the environments.
Once configured, GitLab will attempt to retrieve performance metrics for any
environment which has had a successful deployment. If monitoring data was
successfully retrieved, a Monitoring button will appear on the environment's
detail page.
![Environment Detail with Metrics](img/prometheus_environment_detail_with_metrics.png)
Clicking on the Monitoring button will display a new page, showing up to the last
8 hours of performance data. It may take a minute or two for data to appear
after initial deployment.
All deployments to an environment are shown directly on the monitoring dashboard
which allows easy correlation between any changes in performance and a new
version of the app, all without leaving GitLab.

Developers can view the performance impact of their changes within the merge request workflow. When a source branch has been deployed to an environment, a sparkline will appear showing the average memory consumption of the app. The dot indicates when the current changes were deployed, with up to 30 minutes of performance data displayed before and after. The sparkline will be updated after each commit has been deployed.
