Prioritized labels

Drag to reorder prioritized labels and change their relative priority.
  • DBRE Headroom
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    One off label to track database headroom work for the DBRE team
  • RootCauseConfig-Change
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Denotes a precipitating root cause of a configuration change (a change other than a feature flag being toggled)
  • changescheduled
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Change plans that are ready and scheduled for execution. See https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure/change-management/.
  • incident
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
  • oncall report
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
  • IncidentActive
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Indicates that the incident labeled is active and ongoing.
  • review-requested
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Indicates that that the incident would benefit from undergoing additional review. All S1 incidents are required to have a review. Additionally, anyone including the EOC can request an incident review on any severity issue. Although the review will help to derive corrective actions, it is expected that corrective actions are filled whether or not a review is requested. If an incident does not have any corrective actions, this is probably a good reason to request a review for additional discussion.
  • IncidentMitigated
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Indicates that the incident has been mitigated, but immediate post-incident activity may be ongoing (monitoring, messaging, etc.)
  • RootCauseExternal-Dependency
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    Denotes a precipitating root cause resulting from the failure of a dependency external to GitLab, including various service providers.
  • changein-progress
    GitLab.com / GitLab Infrastructure Team / Production
    This label indicates that a change from a Change Management issue is in progress.
  • IncidentResolved

    Resolved - Indicates that SRE engagement with the incident has ended and GitLab.com is fully operational.
  • RootCauseFeature-Flag
