## GitLab Observability Templates
GitLab provides pre-built dashboard templates to help you get started with observability quickly. These templates are available at [Experimental Observability O11y Templates](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/embody-team/experimental-observability/o11y-templates/).
### Available templates
**Standard OpenTelemetry dashboards**: If you instrument your application with standard OpenTelemetry libraries, you can use these plug-and-play dashboard templates:
- Application performance monitoring dashboards
- Service dependency visualizations
- Error rate and latency tracking
**GitLab-specific dashboards**: When you send GitLab OpenTelemetry data to your GitLab O11y instance, use these dashboards for out-of-the-box insights:
- GitLab application performance metrics
- GitLab service health monitoring
- GitLab-specific trace analysis
**CI/CD observability**: The repository includes an example GitLab CI/CD pipeline with OpenTelemetry instrumentation that works with the GitLab O11y CI/CD dashboard template JSON file. This helps you monitor your CI/CD pipeline performance and identify bottlenecks.
### Using the templates
1. Clone or download the templates from the repository.
1. Update the service name in the example application dashboards to match your service name.
1. Import the JSON files into your GitLab O11y instance.
1. Configure your applications to send telemetry data using standard OpenTelemetry libraries as described in the [Instrument your application](#instrument-your-application) section.
1. The dashboards are now available with your application's telemetry data in GitLab O11y.
