+# GitLab Configuration
+
+GitLab Performance Monitoring is disabled by default. To enable it and change any of its
+settings, navigate to the Admin area in **Settings > Metrics**
+(`/admin/application_settings`).
+
+The minimum required settings you need to set are the InfluxDB host and port.
+Make sure _Enable InfluxDB Metrics_ is checked and hit **Save** to save the
+changes.

+
+Finally, a restart of all GitLab processes is required for the changes to take
+effect:
+
+```bash
+# For Omnibus installations
+sudo gitlab-ctl restart
+
+# For installations from source
+sudo service gitlab restart
+```
+
+## Pending Migrations
+
+When any migrations are pending, the metrics are disabled until the migrations
+have been performed.
