# Snowplow schemas

This page provides Snowplow schema reference for GitLab events.

## `gitlab_standard`

We are including the [`gitlab_standard` schema](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/iglu/-/blob/master/public/schemas/com.gitlab/gitlab_standard/jsonschema/) for structured events and page views.

The [`StandardContext`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/tracking/standard_context.rb)
class represents this schema in the application. Some properties are
[automatically populated for frontend events](implementation.md#snowplow-javascript-frontend-tracking),
and can be [provided manually for backend events](implementation.md#implement-ruby-backend-tracking).

| Field Name     | Required            | Default value | Type                  | Description                                                                                 |

| `user_id`      | **{dotted-circle}** | Current user ID * | integer               | User database record ID attribute. This value undergoes a pseudonymization process at the collector level. |

| `environment`  | **{check-circle}**  | Current environment | string (max 32 chars) | Name of the source environment, such as `production` or `staging`             |
| `source`       | **{check-circle}**  | Event source | string (max 32 chars) | Name of the source application, such as  `gitlab-rails` or `gitlab-javascript` |
| `plan`         | **{dotted-circle}**  | Current namespace plan * | string (max 32 chars) | Name of the plan for the namespace, such as `free`, `premium`, or `ultimate`. Automatically picked from the `namespace`. |

## Default Schema

Frontend events include a [web-specific schema](https://docs.snowplowanalytics.com/docs/understanding-your-pipeline/canonical-event/#Web-specific_fields) provided by Snowplow.
All URLs are pseudonymized. The entity identifier [replaces](https://docs.snowplowanalytics.com/docs/collecting-data/collecting-from-own-applications/javascript-trackers/javascript-tracker/javascript-tracker-v2/tracker-setup/other-parameters-2/#Setting_a_custom_page_URL_and_referrer_URL) personally identifiable
information (PII). PII includes usernames, group, and project names.
Page titles are hardcoded as `GitLab` for the same reason.
