## Version check
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab can inform you when an update is available and the importance of it.
|
||||
If enabled, version check will inform you if a new version is available and the
|
||||
importance of it through a status. This is shown on the help page (i.e. `/help`)
|
||||
for all signed in users, and on the admin pages. The statuses are:
|
||||
|
||||
No information other than the GitLab version and the instance's hostname (through the HTTP referer)
|
||||
are collected.
|
||||
* Green: You are running the latest version of GitLab.
|
||||
* Orange: An updated version of GitLab is available.
|
||||
* Red: The version of GitLab you are running is vulnerable. You should install
|
||||
the latest version with security fixes as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
In the **Overview** tab you can see if your GitLab version is up to date. There
|
||||
are three cases: 1) you are up to date (green), 2) there is an update available
|
||||
(yellow) and 3) your version is vulnerable and a security fix is released (red).
|
||||
![Orange version check example](img/update-available.png)
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, you will see a message informing you of the state and the
|
||||
importance of the update.
|
||||
GitLab Inc. collects your instance's version and hostname (through the HTTP
|
||||
referer) as part of the version check. No other information is collected.
|
||||
|
||||
If enabled, the version status will also be shown in the help page (`/help`)
|
||||
for all signed in users.
|
||||
This information is used, among other things, to identify to which versions
|
||||
patches will need to be back ported, making sure active GitLab instances remain
|
||||
secure.
|
||||
|
||||
If you disable version check, this information will not be collected. Enable or
|
||||
disable the version check at **Admin area > Settings > Usage statistics**.
