+# Elasticsearch integration **[STARTER ONLY]**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/109 "Elasticsearch Merge Request") in GitLab [Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 8.4. Support
+> for [Amazon Elasticsearch](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-gsg.html) was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/1305) in GitLab
+> [Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 9.0.
+
+This document describes how to set up Elasticsearch with GitLab. Once enabled,
+you'll have the benefit of fast search response times and the advantage of two
+special searches:
+
+- [Advanced Global Search](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/search/advanced_global_search.html)
+- [Advanced Syntax Search](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/search/advanced_search_syntax.html)
+
+## Version Requirements
+<!-- Please remember to update ee/lib/system_check/app/elasticsearch_check.rb if this changes -->
+
+| GitLab version | Elasticsearch version |
+| -------------- | --------------------- |
+| GitLab Enterprise Edition 8.4 - 8.17  | Elasticsearch 2.4 with [Delete By Query Plugin](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.4/plugins-delete-by-query.html) installed |
+| GitLab Enterprise Edition 9.0 - 11.4   | Elasticsearch 5.1 - 5.5 |
+| GitLab Enterprise Edition 11.5+        | Elasticsearch 5.6 - 6.x |
+
+## Installing Elasticsearch
+
+Elasticsearch is _not_ included in the Omnibus packages. You will have to
+install it yourself whether you are using the Omnibus package or installed
+GitLab from source. Providing detailed information on installing Elasticsearch
+is out of the scope of this document.
+
+Once the data is added to the database or repository and [Elasticsearch is
+enabled in the admin area](#enabling-elasticsearch) the search index will be
+updated automatically. Elasticsearch can be installed on the same machine as
+GitLab, or on a separate server, or you can use the [Amazon Elasticsearch](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/es-gsg.html)
+service.
+
+You can follow the steps as described in the [official web site](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html "Elasticsearch installation documentation") or
+use the packages that are available for your OS.
+
+## Elasticsearch repository indexer (beta)
+
+In order to improve elasticsearch indexing performance GitLab has made available a [new indexer written in Go](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer).
+This will replace the included Ruby indexer in the future but should be considered beta software for now, so there may be some bugs.
+
+If you would like to use it, please follow the instructions below.
+
+### Installation
+
+First, we need to install some dependencies, then we'll build and install
+the indexer itself.
+
+#### Dependencies
+
+This project relies on [ICU](http://site.icu-project.org/) for text encoding,
+therefore we need to ensure the development packages for your platform are
+installed before running `make`.
+
+##### Debian / Ubuntu
+
+To install on Debian or Ubutu, run:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt install libicu-dev
+```
+
+##### Mac OSX
+
+To install on macOS, run:
+
+```sh
+brew install icu4c
+export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
+```
+
+#### Building and installing
+
+To build and install the indexer, run:
+
+```sh
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+The `gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer` will be installed to `/usr/local/bin`.
+
+You can change the installation path with the `PREFIX` env variable.
+Please remember to pass the `-E` flag to `sudo` if you do so.
+
+Example:
+
+```sh
+PREFIX=/usr sudo -E make install
+```
+
+Once installed, enable it under your instance's elasticsearch settings explained [below](#enabling-elasticsearch).
+
+## System Requirements
+
+Elasticsearch requires additional resources in excess of those documented in the
+[GitLab system requirements](../install/requirements.md). These will vary by
+installation size, but you should ensure **at least** an additional 8 GiB of RAM
+for each Elasticsearch node, per the [official guidelines](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/hardware.html).
+
+Storage requirements also vary based on installation side, but as a rule of
+thumb, you should allocate the total size of your production database, **plus**
+two-thirds of the total size of your git repositories. Efforts to reduce this
+total are being tracked in this epic: [gitlab-org&153](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/153).
+
+## Enabling Elasticsearch
+
+In order to enable Elasticsearch, you need to have admin access. Go to
+**Admin > Settings > Integrations** and find the "Elasticsearch" section.
+
+The following Elasticsearch settings are available:
+
+| Parameter                           | Description |
+| ---------                           | ----------- |
+| `Elasticsearch indexing`            | Enables/disables Elasticsearch indexing. You may want to enable indexing but disable search in order to give the index time to be fully completed, for example. Also keep in mind that this option doesn't have any impact on existing data, this only enables/disables background indexer which tracks data changes. So by enabling this you will not get your existing data indexed, use special rake task for that as explained in [Adding GitLab's data to the Elasticsearch index](#adding-gitlabs-data-to-the-elasticsearch-index). |
+| `Use the new repository indexer (beta)` | Perform repository indexing using [GitLab Elasticsearch Indexer](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-elasticsearch-indexer). |
+| `Search with Elasticsearch enabled` | Enables/disables using Elasticsearch in search. |
+| `URL`                              | The URL to use for connecting to Elasticsearch. Use a comma-separated list to support clustering (e.g., "http://host1, https://host2:9200"). If your Elasticsearch instance is password protected, pass the `username:password` in the URL (e.g., `http://<username>:<password>@<elastic_host>:9200/`). |
+| `Limit namespaces and projects that can be indexed` | Enabling this will allow you to select namespaces and projects to index. All other namespaces and projects will use database search instead. Please note that if you enable this option but do not select any namespaces or projects, none will be indexed. [Read more below](#limiting-namespaces-and-projects).
+| `Using AWS hosted Elasticsearch with IAM credentials` | Sign your Elasticsearch requests using [AWS IAM authorization](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html) or [AWS EC2 Instance Profile Credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/getting-started-create-iam-instance-profile.html#getting-started-create-iam-instance-profile-cli). The policies must be configured to allow `es:*` actions. |
+| `AWS Region` | The AWS region your Elasticsearch service is located in. |
+| `AWS Access Key` | The AWS access key. |
+| `AWS Secret Access Key` | The AWS secret access key. |
+
+### Limiting namespaces and projects
+
+If you select `Limit namespaces and projects that can be indexed`, more options will become available
+![limit namespaces and projects options](img/limit_namespaces_projects_options.png)
+
+You can select namespaces and projects to index exclusively. Please note that if the namespace is a group it will include
+any sub-groups and projects belonging to those sub-groups to be indexed as well.
+
+You can filter the selection dropdown by writing part of the namespace or project name you're interested in.
+![limit namespace filter](img/limit_namespace_filter.png)
+
+NOTE: **Note**:
+If no namespaces or projects are selected, no Elasticsearch indexing will take place.
+
+CAUTION: **Warning**:
+If you have already indexed your instance, you will have to regenerate the index in order to delete all existing data
+for filtering to work correctly. To do this run the rake tasks `gitlab:elastic:create_empty_index` and
+`gitlab:elastic:clear_index_status` Afterwards, removing a namespace or a projeect from the list will delete the data
+from the Elasticsearch index as expected.
+
+## Disabling Elasticsearch
+
+To disable the Elasticsearch integration:
+
+1. Navigate to the **Admin > Settings > Integrations**
+1. Find the 'Elasticsearch' section and uncheck 'Search with Elasticsearch enabled'
+   and 'Elasticsearch indexing'
+1. Click **Save** for the changes to take effect
+
+## Adding GitLab's data to the Elasticsearch index
+
+### Indexing small instances (database size less than 500 MiB, size of repos less than 5 GiB)
+
+Configure Elasticsearch's host and port in **Admin > Settings > Integrations**. Then create empty indexes using one of the following commands:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:create_empty_index
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:create_empty_index RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+Then enable Elasticsearch indexing and run repository indexing tasks:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+Enable Elasticsearch search.
+
+### Indexing large instances
+
+NOTE: **Note**:
+After indexing the repositories asynchronously, you MUST index the database to be able to search.
+
+Configure Elasticsearch's host and port in **Admin > Settings > Integrations**. Then create empty indexes using one of the following commands:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:create_empty_index
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:create_empty_index RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+Indexing large Git repositories can take a while. To speed up the process, you
+can temporarily disable auto-refreshing and replicating. In our experience you can expect a 20%
+time drop. We'll enable them when indexing is done. This step is optional!
+
+```bash
+curl --request PUT localhost:9200/gitlab-production/_settings --data '{
+    "index" : {
+        "refresh_interval" : "-1",
+        "number_of_replicas" : 0
+    } }'
+```
+
+Then enable Elasticsearch indexing and run repository indexing tasks:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories_async
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories_async RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+This enqueues a number of Sidekiq jobs to index your existing repositories.
+You can view the jobs in the admin panel (they are placed in the `elastic_batch_project_indexer`)
+queue), or you can query indexing status using a rake task:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories_status
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories_status RAILS_ENV=production
+
+Indexing is 65.55% complete (6555/10000 projects)
+```
+
+By default, one job is created for every 300 projects. For large numbers of
+projects, you may wish to increase the batch size, by setting the `BATCH`
+environment variable.
+
+You can also run the initial indexing synchronously - this is most useful if
+you have a small number of projects, or need finer-grained control over indexing
+than Sidekiq permits:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+It might take a while depending on how big your Git repositories are.
+
+If you want to run several tasks in parallel (probably in separate terminal
+windows) you can provide the `ID_FROM` and `ID_TO` parameters:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories ID_FROM=1001 ID_TO=2000
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories ID_FROM=1001 ID_TO=2000 RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+Where `ID_FROM` and `ID_TO` are project IDs. Both parameters are optional.
+As an example, if you have 3,000 repositories and you want to run three separate indexing tasks, you might run:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories ID_TO=1000
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories ID_FROM=1001 ID_TO=2000
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories ID_FROM=2001
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories RAILS_ENV=production ID_TO=1000
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories RAILS_ENV=production ID_FROM=1001 ID_TO=2000
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories RAILS_ENV=production ID_FROM=2001
+```
+
+Sometimes your repository index process `gitlab:elastic:index_repositories` or
+`gitlab:elastic:index_repositories_async` can get interrupted. This may happen
+for many reasons, but it's always safe to run the indexing job again - it will
+skip those repositories that have already been indexed.
+
+As the indexer stores the last commit SHA of every indexed repository in the
+database, you can run the indexer with the special parameter `UPDATE_INDEX` and
+it will check every project repository again to make sure that every commit in
+that repository is indexed, it can be useful in case if your index is outdated:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories UPDATE_INDEX=true ID_TO=1000
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_repositories UPDATE_INDEX=true ID_TO=1000 RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+You can also use the `gitlab:elastic:clear_index_status` Rake task to force the
+indexer to "forget" all progresss, so retrying the indexing process from the
+start.
+
+To index all wikis:
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_wikis
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_wikis RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+The wiki indexer also supports the `ID_FROM` and `ID_TO` parameters if you want
+to limit a project set.
+
+Index all database entities (Keep in mind it can take a while so consider using `screen` or `tmux`):
+
+```sh
+# Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:elastic:index_database
+
+# Installations from source
+bundle exec rake gitlab:elastic:index_database RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+Enable replication and refreshing again after indexing (only if you previously disabled it):
+
+```bash
+curl --request PUT localhost:9200/gitlab-production/_settings --data '{
+    "index" : {
+        "number_of_replicas" : 1,
+        "refresh_interval" : "1s"
+    } }'
+```
+
+A force merge should be called after enabling the refreshing above:
+
+```bash
+curl --request POST 'http://localhost:9200/_forcemerge?max_num_segments=5'
+```
+
+Enable Elasticsearch search in **Admin > Settings > Integrations**. That's it. Enjoy it!
+
+## Tuning
+
+### Deleted documents
+
+Whenever a change or deletion is made to an indexed GitLab object (a merge request description is changed, a file is deleted from the master branch in a repository, a project is deleted, etc), a document in the index is deleted.  However, since these are "soft" deletes, the overall number of "deleted documents", and therefore wasted space, increases.  Elasticsearch does intelligent merging of segments in order to remove these deleted documents.  However, depending on the amount and type of activity in your GitLab installation, it's possible to see as much as 50% wasted space in the index.
+
+In general, we recommend simply letting Elasticseach merge and reclaim space automatically, with the default settings.  From [Lucene's Handling of Deleted Documents](https://www.elastic.co/blog/lucenes-handling-of-deleted-documents "Lucene's Handling of Deleted Documents"), _"Overall, besides perhaps decreasing the maximum segment size, it is best to leave Lucene's defaults as-is and not fret too much about when deletes are reclaimed."_
+
+However, some larger installations may wish to tune the merge policy settings: 
+
+- Consider reducing the `index.merge.policy.max_merged_segment` size from the default 5 GB to maybe 2 GB or 3 GB.  Merging only happens when a segment has at least 50% deletions.  Smaller segment sizes will allow merging to happen more frequently.
+
+  ```bash
+  curl --request PUT http://localhost:9200/gitlab-production/_settings --data '{
+    "index" : {
+      "merge.policy.max_merged_segment": "2gb"
+    }
+  }'
+  ```
+
+- You can also adjust `index.merge.policy.reclaim_deletes_weight`, which controls how aggressively deletions are targetd.  But this can lead to costly merge decisions, so we recommend not changing this unless you understand the tradeoffs.
+
+  ```bash
+  curl --request PUT http://localhost:9200/gitlab-production/_settings --data '{
+    "index" : {
+      "merge.policy.reclaim_deletes_weight": "3.0"
+    }
+  }'
+  ```
+
+- Do not do a [force merge](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-forcemerge.html "Force Merge") to remove deleted documents.  A warning in the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-forcemerge.html "Force Merge") states that this can lead to very large segments that may never get reclaimed, and can also cause significant performance or availability issues.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+Here are some common pitfalls and how to overcome them:
+
+- **I updated GitLab and now I can't find anything**
+
+    We continuously make updates to our indexing strategies and aim to support
+    newer versions of Elasticsearch. When indexing changes are made, it may
+    be necessary for you to [reindex](#adding-gitlabs-data-to-the-elasticsearch-index) after updating GitLab.
+
+- **I indexed all the repositories but I can't find anything**
+
+    Make sure you indexed all the database data [as stated above](#adding-gitlabs-data-to-the-elasticsearch-index).
+
+- **I indexed all the repositories but then switched elastic search servers and now I can't find anything**
+
+    You will need to re-run all the rake tasks to re-index the database, repositories, and wikis.
+
+- **No new data is added to the Elasticsearch index when I push code**
+
+    When performing the initial indexing of blobs, we lock all projects until the project finishes indexing. It could
+    happen that an error during the process causes one or multiple projects to remain locked. In order to unlock them,
+    run the `gitlab:elastic:clear_locked_projects` rake task.
+
+- **"Can't specify parent if no parent field has been configured"**
+
+    If you enabled Elasticsearch before GitLab 8.12 and have not rebuilt indexes you will get
+    exception in lots of different cases:
+
+    ```text
+    Elasticsearch::Transport::Transport::Errors::BadRequest([400] {
+        "error": {
+            "root_cause": [{
+                "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
+                "reason": "Can't specify parent if no parent field has been configured"
+            }],
+            "type": "illegal_argument_exception",
+            "reason": "Can't specify parent if no parent field has been configured"
+        },
+        "status": 400
+    }):
+    ```
+
+    This is because we changed the index mapping in GitLab 8.12 and the old indexes should be removed and built from scratch again,
+    see details in the [8-11-to-8-12 update guide](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/doc/update/8.11-to-8.12.md#11-elasticsearch-index-update-if-you-currently-use-elasticsearch).
+
+- Exception `Elasticsearch::Transport::Transport::Errors::BadRequest`
+
+    If you have this exception (just like in the case above but the actual message is different) please check if you have the correct Elasticsearch version and you met the other [requirements](#system-requirements).
+    There is also an easy way to check it automatically with `sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check` command.
+
+- Exception `Elasticsearch::Transport::Transport::Errors::RequestEntityTooLarge`
+
+    ```text
+    [413] {"Message":"Request size exceeded 10485760 bytes"}
+    ```
+
+    This exception is seen when your Elasticsearch cluster is configured to reject
+    requests above a certain size (10MiB in this case). This corresponds to the
+    `http.max_content_length` setting in `elasticsearch.yml`. Increase it to a
+    larger size and restart your Elasticsearch cluster.
+
+    AWS has [fixed limits](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticsearch-service/latest/developerguide/aes-limits.html)
+    for this setting ("Maximum Size of HTTP Request Payloads"), based on the size of
+    the underlying instance.

+# Jenkins CI service **[STARTER]**
+
+>**Note:**
+In GitLab 8.3, Jenkins integration using the
+[GitLab Hook Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Hook+Plugin)
+was deprecated in favor of the
+[GitLab Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Plugin).
+The deprecated integration has been renamed to [Jenkins CI (Deprecated)](jenkins_deprecated.md) in the
+project service settings. We may remove this in a future release and recommend
+using the new 'Jenkins CI' project service instead which is described in this
+document.
+
+## Overview
+
+[Jenkins](https://jenkins.io/) is a great Continuous Integration tool, similar to our built-in
+[GitLab CI](../ci/README.md).
+
+GitLab's Jenkins integration allows you to trigger a Jenkins build when you
+push code to a repository, or when a merge request is created. Additionally,
+it shows the pipeline status on merge requests widgets and on the project's home page.
+
+## Use cases
+
+- Suppose you are new to GitLab, and want to keep using Jenkins until you prepare
+your projects to build with [GitLab CI/CD](../ci/README.md). You set up the
+integration between GitLab and Jenkins, then you migrate to GitLab CI later. While
+you organize yourself and your team to onboard GitLab, you keep your pipelines
+running with Jenkins, but view the results in your project's repository in GitLab.
+- Your team uses [Jenkins Plugins](https://plugins.jenkins.io/) for other proceedings,
+therefore, you opt for keep using Jenkins to build your apps. Show the results of your
+pipelines directly in GitLab.
+
+## Requirements
+
+* [Jenkins GitLab Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Plugin)
+* [Jenkins Git Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin)
+* Git clone access for Jenkins from the GitLab repository
+* GitLab API access to report build status
+
+## Configure GitLab users
+
+Create a user or choose an existing user that Jenkins will use to interact
+through the GitLab API. This user will need to be a global Admin or added
+as a member to each Group/Project. Developer permission is required for reporting
+build status. This is because a successful build status can trigger a merge
+when 'Merge when pipeline succeeds' feature is used. Some features of the GitLab
+Plugin may require additional privileges. For example, there is an option to
+accept a merge request if the build is successful. Using this feature would
+require developer, maintainer or owner-level permission.
+
+Copy the private API token from **Profile Settings -> Account**. You will need this
+when configuring the Jenkins server later.
+
+## Configure the Jenkins server
+
+Install [Jenkins GitLab Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Plugin)
+and [Jenkins Git Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin).
+
+Go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and scroll down to the 'GitLab' section.
+Enter the GitLab server URL in the 'GitLab host URL' field and paste the API token
+copied earlier in the 'API Token' field.
+
+For more information, see GitLab Plugin documentation about 
+[Jenkins-to-GitLab authentication](https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin#jenkins-to-gitlab-authentication)
+
+![Jenkins GitLab plugin configuration](img/jenkins_gitlab_plugin_config.png)
+
+## Configure a Jenkins project
+
+Follow the GitLab Plugin documentation about [Jenkins Job Configuration](https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin#jenkins-job-configuration).
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+Be sure to include the steps about [Build status configuration](https://github.com/jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin#build-status-configuration).
+The 'Publish build status to GitLab' post-build step is required to view 
+Jenkins build status in GitLab Merge Requests. 
+
+## Configure a GitLab project
+
+Create a new GitLab project or choose an existing one. Then, go to **Integrations ->
+Jenkins CI**.
+
+Check the 'Active' box. Select whether you want GitLab to trigger a build
+on push, Merge Request creation, tag push, or any combination of these. We
+recommend unchecking 'Merge Request events' unless you have a specific use-case
+that requires re-building a commit when a merge request is created. With 'Push
+events' selected, GitLab will build the latest commit on each push and the build
+status will be displayed in the merge request.
+
+Enter the Jenkins URL and Project name. The project name should be URL-friendly
+where spaces are replaced with underscores. To be safe, copy the project name
+from the URL bar of your browser while viewing the Jenkins project.
+
+Optionally, enter a username and password if your Jenkins server requires
+authentication.
+
+![GitLab service settings](img/jenkins_gitlab_service_settings.png)
+
+## Plugin functional overview
+
+GitLab does not contain a database table listing commits. Commits are always
+read from the repository directly. Therefore, it is not possible to retain the
+build status of a commit in GitLab. This is overcome by requesting build
+information from the integrated CI tool. The CI tool is responsible for creating
+and storing build status for Commits and Merge Requests.
+
+### Steps required to implement a similar integration
+
+>**Note:**
+All steps are implemented using AJAX requests on the merge request page.
+
+1. In order to display the build status in a merge request you must create a project service in GitLab.
+2. Your project service will do a (JSON) query to a URL of the CI tool with the SHA1 of the commit.
+3. The project service builds this URL and payload based on project service settings and knowledge of the CI tool.
+4. The response is parsed to give a response in GitLab (success/failed/pending).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error in merge requests - "Could not connect to the CI server"
+
+This integration relies on Jenkins reporting the build status back to GitLab via
+the [Commit Status API](../api/commits.md#commit-status). 
+
+The error 'Could not connect to the CI server' usually means that GitLab did not
+receive a build status update via the API. Either Jenkins was not properly
+configured or there was an error reporting the status via the API. 
+
+1. [Configure the Jenkins server](#configure-the-jenkins-server) for GitLab API access
+2. [Configure a Jenkins project](#configure-a-jenkins-project), including the 
+   'Publish build status to GitLab' post-build action.

+# Jenkins CI (deprecated) service
+
+>**Note:** In GitLab 8.3, Jenkins integration using the
+[GitLab Hook Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Hook+Plugin)
+was deprecated in favor of the
+[GitLab Plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Plugin).
+Please use documentation for the new [Jenkins CI service](jenkins.md).
+
+Integration includes:
+
+* Trigger Jenkins build after push to repo
+* Show build status on Merge Request page
+
+Requirements:
+
+* [Jenkins GitLab Hook plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Hook+Plugin)
+* git clone access for Jenkins from GitLab repo (via ssh key)
+
+## Jenkins
+
+1. Install [GitLab Hook plugin](https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/GitLab+Hook+Plugin)
+2. Set up jenkins project
+
+![screen](img/jenkins_project.png)
+
+## GitLab
+
+In GitLab, perform the following steps.
+
+### Read access to repository
+
+Jenkins needs read access to the GitLab repository. We already specified a
+private key to use in Jenkins, now we need to add a public one to the GitLab
+project. For that case we will need a Deploy key. Read the documentation on
+[how to set up a Deploy key](../ssh/README.md#deploy-keys).
+
+### Jenkins service
+
+Now navigate to GitLab services page and activate Jenkins
+
+![screen](img/jenkins_gitlab_service.png)
+
+Done! Now when you push to GitLab - it will create a build for Jenkins.
+And also you will be able to see merge request build status with a link to the Jenkins build.
+
+### Multi-project Configuration
+
+The GitLab Hook plugin in Jenkins supports the automatic creation of a project
+for each feature branch. After configuration GitLab will trigger feature branch
+builds and a corresponding project will be created in Jenkins.
+
+Configure the GitLab Hook plugin in Jenkins. Go to 'Manage Jenkins' and then
+'Configure System'. Find the 'GitLab Web Hook' section and configure as shown below.

+# GitLab Jira development panel integration **[PREMIUM]**
+
+> [Introduced][ee-2381] in [GitLab Premium][eep] 10.0.
+
+Complementary to our [existing Jira][existing-jira] project integration, you're now able to integrate
+GitLab projects with [Jira Development Panel][jira-development-panel]. Both can be used
+simultaneously. This works with self-hosted GitLab or GitLab.com integrated with self-hosted Jira
+or cloud Jira.
+
+By doing this you can easily access related GitLab merge requests, branches, and commits directly from a Jira issue.
+
+This integration connects all GitLab projects within a top-level group or a personal namespace to projects in the Jira instance.
+A top-level GitLab group is one that does not have any parent group itself. All the projects of that top-level group,
+as well as projects of the top-level group's subgroups nesting down, are connected. Alternatively, you can specify
+a GitLab personal namespace in the Jira configuration, which will then connect the projects in that personal namespace to Jira.
+
+NOTE: **Note**:
+Note this is different from the [existing Jira][existing-jira] project integration, where the mapping
+is one GitLab project to the entire Jira instance.
+
+We recommend that a GitLab group admin
+or instance admin (in the case of self-hosted GitLab) set up the integration,
+in order to simplify administration.
+
+TIP: **Tip:**
+Create and use a single-purpose "jira" user in GitLab, so that removing
+regular users won't impact your integration.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Self-hosted GitLab
+
+If you are using self-hosted GitLab, make sure your GitLab instance is accessible by Jira.
+
+- If you are connecting to Jira Cloud, make sure your instance is accessible via the internet.
+- If you are using Jira Server, make sure your instance is accessible however your network is set up.
+
+### GitLab.com
+
+There are no special requirements if you are using GitLab.com.
+
+## GitLab Configuration
+
+1. In GitLab, create a new application in order to allow Jira to connect with your GitLab account
+
+    While logged-in, go to `Settings -> Applications`. (Click your profile avatar at
+    the top right, choose `Settings`, and then navigate to `Applications` from the left
+    navigation menu.) Use the form to create a new application.
+
+    Enter a useful name for the `Name` field.
+
+    For the `Redirect URI` field, enter `https://<your-gitlab-instance-domain>/login/oauth/callback`,
+    replacing `<your-gitlab-instance-domain>` appropriately. So for example, if you are using GitLab.com,
+    this would be `https://gitlab.com/login/oauth/callback`.
+
+    NOTE: **Note**:
+    If using a GitLab version earlier than 11.3 the `Redirect URI` value should be `https://<your-gitlab-instance-domain>/-/jira/login/oauth/callback`.
+
+    ![GitLab Application setup](img/jira_dev_panel_gl_setup_1.png)
+    - Check `api` in the Scopes section.
+
+2. Click `Save application`. You will see the generated 'Application Id' and 'Secret' values.
+    Copy these values that you will use on the Jira configuration side.
+
+## Jira Configuration
+
+1. In Jira, from the gear menu at the top right, go to `Applications`. Navigate to `DVCS accounts`
+    from the left navigation menu. Click `Link GitHub account` to start creating a new integration.
+    (We are pretending to be GitHub in this integration until there is further platform support from Jira.)
+
+    ![Jira DVCS from Dashboard](img/jira_dev_panel_jira_setup_1.png)
+
+2. Complete the form
+
+    Select GitHub Enterprise for the `Host` field.
+
+    For the `Team or User Account` field, enter the relative path of a top-level GitLab group that you have access to,
+    or the relative path of your personal namespace.
+
+    ![Creation of Jira DVCS integration](img/jira_dev_panel_jira_setup_2.png)
+
+    For the `Host URL` field, enter `https://<your-gitlab-instance-domain>/`,
+    replacing `<your-gitlab-instance-domain>` appropriately. So for example, if you are using GitLab.com,
+    this would be `https://gitlab.com/`.
+
+    NOTE: **Note**:
+    If using a GitLab version earlier than 11.3 the `Host URL` value should be `https://<your-gitlab-instance-domain>/-/jira`
+
+    For the `Client ID` field, use the `Application ID` value from the previous section.
+
+    For the `Client Secret` field, use the `Secret` value from the previous section.
+
+    Ensure that the rest of the checkboxes are checked.
+
+3. Click `Add` to complete and create the integration.
+
+    Jira takes up to a few minutes to know about (import behind the scenes) all the commits and branches
+    for all the projects in the GitLab group you specified in the previous step. These are refreshed
+    every 60 minutes.
+
+    > **Note:**
+    > In the future, we plan on implementating real-time integration. If you need
+    > to refresh the data manually, you can do this from the `Applications -> DVCS
+    > accounts` screen where you initially set up the integration:
+    >
+    > ![Refresh GitLab information in Jira](img/jira_dev_panel_manual_refresh.png)
+
+To connect additional GitLab projects from other GitLab top-level groups (or personal namespaces), repeat the above
+steps with additional Jira DVCS accounts.
+
+You may now refer any Jira issue by its ID in branch names, commit messages and  merge request names on GitLab's side,
+and you will be able to see the linked `branches`, `commits`, and `merge requests` when entering a Jira issue
+(inside the Jira issue, merge requests will be called "pull requests").

doc/integration/kerberos.md

+# Kerberos integration **[STARTER ONLY]**
+
+GitLab can integrate with [Kerberos][kerb] as an authentication mechanism.
+
+## Overview
+
+[Kerberos][kerb] is a secure method for authenticating a request for a service in a
+computer network. Kerberos was developed in the Athena Project at the
+[Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)][mit]. The name is taken from Greek
+mythology; Kerberos was a three-headed dog who guarded the gates of Hades.
+
+## Use-cases
+
+- GitLab can be configured to allow your users to sign with their Kerberos credentials.
+- You can use Kerberos to [prevent][why-kerb] anyone from intercepting or eavesdropping on the transmitted password.
+
+## Configuration
+
+For GitLab to offer Kerberos token-based authentication, perform the
+following prerequisites. You still need to configure your system for
+Kerberos usage, such as specifying realms. GitLab will make use of the
+system's Kerberos settings.
+
+### GitLab keytab
+
+1. Create a Kerberos Service Principal for the HTTP service on your GitLab server.
+   If your GitLab server is `gitlab.example.com` and your Kerberos realm
+   `EXAMPLE.COM`, create a Service Principal `HTTP/gitlab.example.com@EXAMPLE.COM`
+   in your Kerberos database.
+1. Create a keytab on the GitLab server for the above Service Principal, e.g.
+   `/etc/http.keytab`.
+
+The keytab is a sensitive file and must be readable by the GitLab user. Set
+ownership and protect the file appropriately:
+
+```
+sudo chown git /etc/http.keytab
+sudo chmod 0600 /etc/http.keytab
+```
+
+### Configure GitLab
+
+**Installations from source**
+
+>**Note:**
+For source installations, make sure the `kerberos` gem group
+[has been installed](../install/installation.md#install-gems).
+
+1. Edit the kerberos section of [gitlab.yml] to enable Kerberos ticket-based
+   authentication. In most cases, you only need to enable Kerberos and specify
+   the location of the keytab:
+
+    ```yaml
+    omniauth:
+      enabled: true
+      allow_single_sign_on: ['kerberos']
+
+    kerberos:
+      # Allow the HTTP Negotiate authentication method for Git clients
+      enabled: true
+
+      # Kerberos 5 keytab file. The keytab file must be readable by the GitLab user,
+      # and should be different from other keytabs in the system.
+      # (default: use default keytab from Krb5 config)
+      keytab: /etc/http.keytab
+    ```
+
+1. [Restart GitLab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+**Omnibus package installations**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['omniauth_enabled'] = true
+    gitlab_rails['omniauth_allow_single_sign_on'] = ['kerberos']
+
+    gitlab_rails['kerberos_enabled'] = true
+    gitlab_rails['kerberos_keytab'] = "/etc/http.keytab"
+    ```
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+GitLab will now offer the `negotiate` authentication method for signing in and
+HTTP Git access, enabling Git clients that support this authentication protocol
+to authenticate with Kerberos tokens.
+
+## Creating and linking Kerberos accounts
+
+The Administrative user can navigate to **Admin > Users > Example User > Identities**
+and attach a Kerberos account. Existing GitLab users can go to **Profile > Account**
+and attach a Kerberos account. If you want to allow users without a GitLab
+account to login, you should enable the option `allow_single_sign_on` as
+described in the [Configure GitLab](#configure-gitlab) section. Then, the first
+time a user signs in with Kerberos credentials, GitLab will create a new GitLab
+user associated with the email, which is built from the Kerberos username and
+realm. User accounts will be created automatically when authentication was
+successful.
+
+## Linking Kerberos and LDAP accounts together
+
+If your users log in with Kerberos, but you also have [LDAP integration](../administration/auth/ldap.md)
+enabled, then your users will be automatically linked to their LDAP accounts on
+first login. For this to work, some prerequisites must be met:
+
+The Kerberos username must match the LDAP user's UID. You can choose which LDAP
+attribute is used as the UID in GitLab's [LDAP configuration](../administration/auth/ldap.md#configuration)
+but for Active Directory, this should be `sAMAccountName`.
+
+The Kerberos realm must match the domain part of the LDAP user's Distinguished
+Name. For instance, if the Kerberos realm is `AD.EXAMPLE.COM`, then the LDAP
+user's Distinguished Name should end in `dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com`.
+
+Taken together, these rules mean that linking will only work if your users'
+Kerberos usernames are of the form `foo@AD.EXAMPLE.COM` and their
+LDAP Distinguished Names look like `sAMAccountName=foo,dc=ad,dc=example,dc=com`.
+
+## HTTP Git access
+
+A linked Kerberos account enables you to `git pull` and `git push` using your
+Kerberos account, as well as your standard GitLab credentials.
+
+GitLab users with a linked Kerberos account can also `git pull` and `git push`
+using Kerberos tokens, i.e., without having to send their password with each
+operation.
+
+### HTTP Git access with Kerberos token (passwordless authentication)
+
+#### Support for Git before 2.4
+
+Until Git version 2.4, the `git` command uses only the `negotiate` authentication
+method if the HTTP server offers it, even if this method fails (such as when
+the client does not have a Kerberos token). It is thus not possible to fall back
+to username/password (also known as `basic`) authentication if Kerberos
+authentication fails.
+
+For GitLab users to be able to use either `basic` or `negotiate` authentication
+with older Git versions, it is possible to offer Kerberos ticket-based
+authentication on a different port (e.g. 8443) while the standard port will
+keep offering only `basic` authentication.
+
+**For source installations with HTTPS**
+
+1. Edit the NGINX configuration file for GitLab
+   (e.g., `/etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab-ssl`) and configure NGINX to
+   listen to port `8443` in addition to the standard HTTPS port:
+
+    ```conf
+    server {
+      listen 0.0.0.0:443 ssl;
+      listen [::]:443 ipv6only=on ssl default_server;
+      listen 0.0.0.0:8443 ssl;
+      listen [::]:8443 ipv6only=on ssl;
+    ```
+
+1. Update the Kerberos section of [gitlab.yml]:
+
+    ```yaml
+    kerberos:
+      # Dedicated port: Git before 2.4 does not fall back to Basic authentication if Negotiate fails.
+      # To support both Basic and Negotiate methods with older versions of Git, configure
+      # nginx to proxy GitLab on an extra port (e.g. 8443) and uncomment the following lines
+      # to dedicate this port to Kerberos authentication. (default: false)
+      use_dedicated_port: true
+      port: 8443
+      https: true
+    ```
+
+1. [Restart GitLab] and NGINX for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+**For Omnibus package installations**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['kerberos_use_dedicated_port'] = true
+    gitlab_rails['kerberos_port'] = 8443
+    gitlab_rails['kerberos_https'] = true
+    ```
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+After this change, all Git remote URLs will have to be updated to
+`https://gitlab.example.com:8443/mygroup/myproject.git` in order to use
+Kerberos ticket-based authentication.
+
+## Upgrading from password-based to ticket-based Kerberos sign-ins
+
+Prior to GitLab 8.10 Enterprise Edition, users had to submit their
+Kerberos username and password to GitLab when signing in. We will
+remove support for password-based Kerberos sign-ins in a future
+release, so we recommend that you upgrade to ticket-based sign-ins.
+
+Depending on your existing GitLab configuration, the 'Sign in with:
+Kerberos Spnego' button may already be visible on your GitLab sign-in
+page. If not, then add the settings [described above](#configuration).
+
+Once you have verified that the 'Kerberos Spnego' button works
+without entering any passwords, you can proceed to disable
+password-based Kerberos sign-ins. To do this you need only need to
+remove the OmniAuth provider named `kerberos` from your `gitlab.yml` /
+`gitlab.rb` file.
+
+**For installations from source**
+
+1. Edit [gitlab.yml] and remove the `- { name: 'kerberos' }` line under omniauth
+   providers:
+
+    ```yaml
+    omniauth:
+      # ...
+      providers:
+        - { name: 'kerberos' } # <-- remove this line
+    ```
+
+1. [Restart GitLab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+---
+
+**For Omnibus installations**
+
+1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and remove the `{ "name" => "kerberos" }` line
+   under `gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers']`:
+
+    ```ruby
+    gitlab_rails['omniauth_providers'] = [
+      { "name" => "kerberos" } # <-- remove this entry
+    ]
+    ```
+
+1. [Reconfigure GitLab] for the changes to take effect.
+
+## Support for Active Directory Kerberos environments
+
+When using Kerberos ticket-based authentication in an Active Directory domain,
+it may be necessary to increase the maximum header size allowed by NGINX,
+as extensions to the Kerberos protocol may result in HTTP authentication headers
+larger than the default size of 8kB. Configure `large_client_header_buffers`
+to a larger value in [the NGINX configuration][nginx].
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Unsupported GSSAPI mechanism
+
+With Kerberos SPNEGO authentication, the browser is expected to send a list of
+mechanisms it supports to GitLab. If it doesn't support any of the mechanisms
+GitLab supports, authentication will fail with a message like this in the log:
+
+```
+OmniauthKerberosSpnegoController: failed to process Negotiate/Kerberos authentication: gss_accept_sec_context did not return GSS_S_COMPLETE: An unsupported mechanism was requested Unknown error
+```
+
+This is usually seen when the browser is unable to contact the Kerberos server
+directly. It will fall back to an  unsupported mechanism known as
+[`IAKERB`](https://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Projects/IAKERB), which tries to use
+the GitLab server as an intermediary to the Kerberos server.
+
+If you're experiencing this error, ensure there is connectivity between the
+client machine and the Kerberos server - this is a prerequisite! Traffic may be
+blocked by a firewall, or the DNS records may be incorrect.
+
+Another failure mode occurs when the forward and reverse DNS records for the
+GitLab server do not match. Often, Windows clients will work in this case, while
+Linux clients will fail. They use reverse DNS while detecting the Kerberos
+realm. If they get the wrong realm, then ordinary Kerberos mechanisms will fail,
+so the client will fall back to attempting to negotiate `IAKERB`, leading to the
+above error message.
+
+To fix this, ensure that the forward and reverse DNS for your GitLab server
+match. So for instance, if you acces GitLab as `gitlab.example.com`, resolving
+to IP address `1.2.3.4`, then `4.3.2.1.in-addr.arpa` must be a PTR record for
+`gitlab.example.com`.
+
+Finally, it's possible that the browser or client machine lack Kerberos support
+completely. Ensure that the Kerberos libraries are installed and that you can
+authenticate to other Kerberos services.
+
+### HTTP Basic: Access denied when cloning
+
+```sh
+remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
+fatal: Authentication failed for '<KRB5 path>'
+```
+
+If you are using Git v2.11 or newer and see the above error when cloning, you can 
+set the `http.emptyAuth` Git option to `true` to fix this:
+
+```
+git config --global http.emptyAuth true
+```

 ```
 
+## Required groups
+
+>**Note:**
+This setting is only available on GitLab 10.2 EE and above.
+
+This setting works like `External Groups` setting. Just like there, your IdP has to
+pass Group Information to GitLab, you have to tell GitLab where to look or the
+groups SAML response, and which group membership should be requisite for logging in.
+When `required_groups` is not set or it is empty, anyone with proper authentication

+  groups_attribute: 'Groups',
+  required_groups: ['Developers', 'Managers', 'Admins'],
+  args: {

+## Admin Groups
+
+>**Note:**
+This setting is only available on GitLab 8.8 EE and above.
+
+This setting works very similarly to the `External Groups` setting. The requirements
+are the same, your IdP needs to pass Group information to GitLab, you need to tell
+GitLab where to look for the groups in the SAML response, and which group should be
+considered `admin groups`.
+
+```yaml

+  label: 'Our SAML Provider',
+  groups_attribute: 'Groups',
+  admin_groups: ['Managers', 'Admins'],

+
+>**Note:**
+This setting is only available on GitLab 11.4 EE and above.
