Overview

This node interacts with the GitLab API to post usage data tracking events to the endpoint `/api/v4/usage_data/track_events`. It is useful for scenarios where you want to send custom usage or event data to GitLab for analytics or monitoring purposes. For example, tracking user actions or system events within GitLab projects or instances.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending a POST request to GitLab's usage data tracking endpoint with event details to monitor feature usage.
  2. Automating the collection of usage metrics by posting event data from an external system to GitLab.
