Redis – How do i check GO version in Gitlab Omnibus

Is there a way to check GO version in Gitlab. When i try to run gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info I get this which says Go Version : Unknown

I want to know the version of Go so that I can check if I can integrate some monitoring tools like Dynatrace for my Gitlab instance because Dynatrace only supports fewer versions.

    GitLab Omnibus packages do not contain any go system since go sources are already compiled. Go is only needed for installation from source (See e.g. this gitlab issue).

    GitLab’s CI pipeline uses Go 1.14 since April 2020. See the corresponding yml file here. If you should use an older GitLab release you can check the history of the file.

    According to this build file GitLab’s Go binaries seem to be statically linked. So you will have to enable support for statically linked Go applications in Dynatrace as described here

    Since Go not part of GitLab itself, but rather the version of Go we used to compile the various components of GitLab, you’d need to check the build environment for the Omnibus packages.

    Based on that, the only possible way is check it here for the latest release:
