+It is required to write tests for background migrations' scheduling migration

+See [README][migrations-readme].

+
+![GitLab Trello PowerUp - Trello card](img/trello_card_with_gitlab_powerup.png)
+
+## Configuring the Power-Up
+
+In order to get started, you will need to configure your Power-Up.
+
+In Trello:
+
+1. Go to your Trello board
+1. Select `Power-Ups` to see a listing of all the available Power-Ups
+1. Look for a row that says `GitLab` and select the `Enable` button
+1. Select the `Settings` (gear) icon
+1. In the popup menu, select `Authorize Account`
+
+In this popup, fill in your `API URL` and `Personal Access Token`. After that, you will be able to attach any merge request to any Trello card on your selected Trello board.
+
+## What is my API URL?
+
+Your API URL should be your GitLab instance URL with `/api/v4` appended in the end of the URL.
+For example, if your GitLab instance URL is `https://gitlab.com`, your API URL would be `https://gitlab.com/api/v4`.
+If your instance's URL is `https://example.com`, your API URL will be `https://example.com/api/v4`.
+
+![configure GitLab Trello PowerUp in Trello](img/enable_trello_powerup.png)
+
+## What is my Personal Access Token?
+
+Your GitLab's personal access token will enable your GitLab account to be accessed
+from Trello.
+
+> Find it in GitLab by clicking on your avatar (upright corner), from which you access
+your user **Settings** > **Access Tokens**.
+
+Learn more about generating a personal access token in the

+# Monitoring HA Proxy
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/12621) in GitLab 9.4
+
+GitLab has support for automatically detecting and monitoring HA Proxy. This is provided by leveraging the [HA Proxy Exporter](https://github.com/hnlq715/nginx-vts-exporter), which translates HA Proxy statistics into a Prometheus readable form.
+
+## Metrics supported
+
+| Name | Query |
+| ---- | ----- |
+| Throughput (req/sec) | sum(rate(haproxy_frontend_http_requests_total{%{environment_filter}}[2m])) |
+| HTTP Error Rate (%) | sum(rate(haproxy_frontend_http_requests_total{code="5xx",%{environment_filter}}[2m])) / sum(rate(haproxy_frontend_http_requests_total{%{environment_filter}}[2m])) |
+
+## Configuring Prometheus to monitor for HA Proxy metrics
+
+To get started with NGINX monitoring, you should install and configure the [HA Proxy exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/haproxy_exporter) which parses these statistics and translates them into a Prometheus monitoring endpoint.
+
+## Specifying the Environment label
+
+In order to isolate and only display relevant metrics for a given environment
+however, GitLab needs a method to detect which labels are associated. To do this, GitLab will [look for an `environment` label](metrics.md#identifying-environments).

GitLab offers automatic detection of select [Prometheus exporters](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exporters/). Currently supported exporters are:
* [Kubernetes](kubernetes.md)
* [NGINX](nginx.md)
+* [HA Proxy](haproxy.md)
* [Amazon Cloud Watch](cloudwatch.md)
We have tried to surface the most important metrics for each exporter, and will be continuing to add support for additional exporters in future releases. If you would like to add support for other official exporters, [contributions](#adding-to-the-library) are welcome.
