# Bugzilla Service **(FREE)**
# Bugzilla service **(FREE)**
Navigate to the [Integrations page](overview.md#accessing-integrations),
select the **Bugzilla** service and fill in the required details as described
in the table below.
[Bugzilla](https://www.bugzilla.org/) is a web-based general-purpose bug tracking system and testing
tool.
| Field | Description |
| ----- | ----------- |
| `project_url` | The URL to the project in Bugzilla which is being linked to this GitLab project. Note that the `project_url` requires PRODUCT_NAME to be updated with the product/project name in Bugzilla. |
| `issues_url` | The URL to the issue in Bugzilla project that is linked to this GitLab project. Note that the `issues_url` requires `:id` in the URL. This ID is used by GitLab as a placeholder to replace the issue number. |
| `new_issue_url` | This is the URL to create a new issue in Bugzilla for the project linked to this GitLab project. Note that the `new_issue_url` requires PRODUCT_NAME to be updated with the product/project name in Bugzilla. |
You can configure Bugzilla as an
[external issue tracker](../../../integration/external-issue-tracker.md) in GitLab.
Once you have configured and enabled Bugzilla, you see the Bugzilla link on the GitLab project pages that takes you to the appropriate Bugzilla project.
To enable the Bugzilla integration in a project:
## Referencing issues in Bugzilla
1. Go to the [Integrations page](overview.md#accessing-integrations).
1. Select **Bugzilla**.
1. Select the checkbox under **Enable integration**.
1. Fill in the required fields:
Issues in Bugzilla can be referenced in two alternative ways:
-**Project URL**: The URL to the project in Bugzilla.
-`#<ID>` where `<ID>` is a number (example `#143`).
-`<PROJECT>-<ID>` where `<PROJECT>` starts with a capital letter which is
then followed by capital letters, numbers or underscores, and `<ID>` is
a number (example `API_32-143`).
1. Select **Save changes** or optionally select **Test settings**.
We suggest using the longer format if you have both internal and external issue trackers enabled. If you use the shorter format and an issue with the same ID exists in the internal issue tracker, the internal issue is linked.
After you configure and enable Bugzilla, a link appears on the GitLab
project pages. This link takes you to the appropriate Bugzilla project.
Please note that `<PROJECT>` part is ignored and links always point to the
address specified in `issues_url`.
You can also disable [GitLab internal issue tracking](../issues/index.md) in this project.
Learn more about the steps and consequences of disabling GitLab issues in
[Sharing and permissions](../settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions).
## Reference Bugzilla issues in GitLab
You can reference issues in Bugzilla using:
-`#<ID>`, where `<ID>` is a number (for example, `#143`).
-`<PROJECT>-<ID>` (for example `API_32-143`) where:
-`<PROJECT>` starts with a capital letter, followed by capital letters, numbers, or underscores.
-`<ID>` is a number.
The `<PROJECT>` part is ignored in links, which always point to the address specified in **Issue URL**.
We suggest using the longer format (`<PROJECT>-<ID>`) if you have both internal and external issue
trackers enabled. If you use the shorter format, and an issue with the same ID exists in the
internal issue tracker, the internal issue is linked.
