Overview

This node operation retrieves failure details for a specific entity within a bulk import in GitLab. It is useful for monitoring and troubleshooting migration issues by fetching error information related to a particular import entity. For example, if a user is migrating multiple projects or groups to GitLab and wants to check which entities failed during the import process, this operation provides detailed failure data.

Use Case Examples

  1. A DevOps engineer uses this node to get failure reports for a specific project import to diagnose migration problems.
  2. A migration automation workflow includes this node to log and alert on import entity failures automatically.
