Issue analytics

Issue analytics provide insights into the issues created each month in a group or project. A bar chart illustrates the number of issues opened and closed each month. A table displays the top 100 issues based on the global page filters, with the following details about each issue:

• Name
• Age
• Status
• Milestone
• Iteration
• Weight
• Due date
• Assignee
• Author

To view issue analytics:

1. On the left sidebar, select Search or go to and find your project or group. If you’ve turned on the new navigation, this field is on the top bar.

2. Select Analyze > Issue analytics. To view the total number of issues for a month, hover over a bar.

3. Optional. To filter the results, in Search or filter results text box, enter your criteria:

   • Author
   • Assignee
   • Milestone
   • Label
   • My reaction
   • Weight

4. Optional. To change the total number of months displayed, append the parameter months_back=n to the URL. For example, https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/issues_analytics?months_back=15 displays a chart with data for 15 months for the GitLab.org group.

You can also access issue analytics from the Value Streams Dashboard through the New issues drill-down report.
