# Resource weight events API **(FREE)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/32542) in GitLab 13.2.

Resource weight events keep track of what happens to GitLab [issues](../user/project/issues/).

Use them to track which weight was set, who did it, and when it happened.
