## Grafana bundled with GitLab (removed)
Grafana bundled with GitLab was an optional service for Linux package installations that provided a user interface to
GitLab metrics.
The version of Grafana that is bundled with Linux package installations is no longer supported. If you're using the
Grafana that came bundled with GitLab, you should switch to a newer version from [Grafana Labs](https://grafana.com/grafana/).
