# GitLab

Use a webhook to import real-time events from your GitLab repositories and deployments

Use our webhook in your GitLab environment to report events from your repositories and deployments. These [GitLab events](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/integrations/webhook_events.html) are sent to Hosted Graphite in real-time and can be displayed on your graphs in the form of annotations.

First, copy the webhook URL from within the Hosted Graphite Add-Ons UI, and paste into your GitLab account (Settings => Webhooks):

Then you can configure a new [annotation](https://docs.hostedgraphite.com/api-guides/annotations-and-events-api#dashboard-annotations) in your dashboard, using the Event Tags for each type of event you want to display:

You will now receive dashboard annotations for each type of event configured, such as a push event. These markers are useful because you can see if any of your metric data has changed before or after an event within your codebase.
