+    Previously, Gitaly configuration keys for Omnibus GitLab were scattered throughout the configuration file. In GitLab
+    15.10, we added support for a single configuration structure that matches Gitaly internal configuration. Both methods
+    of configuring Gitaly were supported in parallel.
+
+    In GitLab 16.0, we removed support for the former configuration method and now only support the new configuration
+    method.
+
+    Before upgrading to GitLab 16.0, administrators must migrate to the new single configuration structure. For

+- title: "Monitoring performance metrics through Prometheus is removed"
+  announcement_milestone: "14.7"

+  breaking_change: true
+  reporter: kbychu
+  stage: monitor
+  issue_url: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/346541
+  body: |
+    We previously launched a solution that allows you to view performance metrics by displaying data stored in a Prometheus instance.
+    The Prometheus instance can be set up as a GitLab-managed app or you can connect a previously configured Prometheus instance.
+    The latter is known as an "external Prometheus" in GitLab. The value we provided was to enable you to easily set up monitoring
+    (using GitLab Managed Apps) and have the visualization of the metrics all in the same tool you used to build the application.
+
+    However, as we are removing certificate-based integrations, the full monitoring experience is also deprecated as you will not
+    have the option to easily set up Prometheus from GitLab. Furthermore, we plan to consolidate on
+    a focused observability dashboard experience instead of having multiple paths to view metrics. Because of this, we are also removing the external
+    Prometheus experience, together with the metrics visualization capability.
+
+    This removal only refers to the GitLab Metrics capabilities, and **does not** include:
+
+    - Deprecating [alerts for Prometheus](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/338834).
+    - [Capabilities that GitLab comes with that allow operators of GitLab to retrieve metrics from those instances](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/monitoring/prometheus/gitlab_metrics.html).

+  body: |
+    Support for using the `prometheus_exclude_database_from_default_metrics` configuration value was deprecated in
+    GitLab 15.9 and is removed in GitLab 16.0. We made this change to improve the performance of Praefect.
+    All metrics that scrape the Praefect database are now exported to the `/db_metrics` endpoint.
+
+    You must update your metrics collection targets to use the `/db_metrics` endpoint.
