Gitlab Integration
GitLab audit log and CI/CD event ingestion for code and pipeline security.
What this integration does
GitLab meets agentic SOC
GitLab's audit event stream and CI/CD job logs provide visibility into repository access, permission changes, pipeline execution, and deployment activity. ManySignal ingests GitLab audit events via the GitLab Audit Events API and supports GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, and GitLab Dedicated instances, enabling detection of insider threats, supply chain risks, and CI/CD abuse.
GitLab Audit Events API integration (group and instance level)
CI/CD job log streaming for anomalous pipeline detection
Repository access and permission change monitoring
Data collected
- GitLab audit events (authentication, access, settings changes)
- CI/CD pipeline job status, runner details, and environment targets
- Repository push events with author and branch metadata
- Group membership and permission changes
- Personal access token creation, rotation, and deletion
Actions supported
- Block GitLab user via API on verdict
- Revoke personal access token on compromise
- Create GitLab issue for security investigation
- Trigger pipeline cancellation on suspicious job

Gitlab Integration: frequently asked questions
Does ManySignal support both GitLab.com and self-managed?
Yes. Configure the base URL for self-managed instances. Self-managed instances must be reachable from ManySignal's IP ranges, or use the on-prem connector agent.
What GitLab plan is required?
Basic audit events are available on all GitLab plans. Audit Log Streaming (real-time push) requires GitLab Ultimate. ManySignal supports both polling and push modes.
Can ManySignal detect force pushes to protected branches?
Yes. GitLab audit events include repository push events with force_push indicators. ManySignal alerts on force pushes to protected branches as a high-severity event.
How does GitLab compare to GitHub integration?
Functionally equivalent for code repository monitoring. GitLab's CI/CD integration is typically more comprehensive for self-managed deployments. GitHub's REST and webhook APIs offer slightly higher real-time fidelity for SaaS.
Can ManySignal correlate GitLab CI/CD activity with deployment events?
Yes. GitLab deployment events include environment name, deployment status, and triggering user. ManySignal correlates these with AWS/Azure/GCP activity to detect unauthorized deployments.
What happens if the GitLab API is unavailable?
ManySignal implements exponential backoff and retry logic. Events are not dropped; they are collected once the API becomes available, with a backfill window up to the audit log retention period.
Does ManySignal support GitLab Dedicated?
Yes. GitLab Dedicated is supported via the same API integration as self-managed, using the Dedicated instance URL.
Can I monitor multiple GitLab groups?
Yes. Add multiple group IDs or namespace paths in the connector configuration. Each group is monitored independently with its own audit event stream.
How are personal access tokens (PATs) tracked?
GitLab audit events include PAT creation, revocation, and expiry events. ManySignal alerts on PAT creation with unusual scopes, PATs that haven't been rotated, and PAT usage from unexpected IPs.
Does ManySignal support GitLab's Security Dashboard data?
GitLab Security Dashboard findings (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning) can be ingested via the GitLab API. These appear as vulnerability context in ManySignal investigations.
