IP allowlist

DETAILS: Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: Self-managed

GitLab provides some monitoring endpoints that provide health check information when probed.

To control access to those endpoints through IP allowlisting, you can add single hosts or use IP ranges:

::Tabs

:::TabTitle Linux package (Omnibus)

1. Open /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb and add or uncomment the following:

   gitlab_rails['monitoring_whitelist'] = ['127.0.0.0/8', '192.168.0.1']

2. Save the file and reconfigure GitLab for the changes to take effect.

:::TabTitle Helm chart (Kubernetes)

You can set the required IPs under the gitlab.webservice.monitoring.ipWhitelist key. For example:

gitlab:
   webservice:
      monitoring:
         # Monitoring IP allowlist
         ipWhitelist:
         - 0.0.0.0/0 # Default

:::TabTitle Self-compiled (source)

1. Edit config/gitlab.yml:

   monitoring:
     # by default only local IPs are allowed to access monitoring resources
     ip_whitelist:
       - 127.0.0.0/8
       - 192.168.0.1

2. Save the file and restart GitLab for the changes to take effect.
