-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Cannot disable Service Ping using the configuration file
-
-The method to disable Service Ping using the GitLab configuration file does not work in
-GitLab versions 9.3.0 to 13.12.3. To disable it, you must use the Admin Area in
-the GitLab UI instead. For more information, see
-[this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/333269).
-
-GitLab functionality and application settings cannot override or circumvent
-restrictions at the network layer. If Service Ping is blocked by your firewall,
-you are not impacted by this bug.
-
-#### Check if you are affected
-
-You can check if you were affected by this bug by using the Admin Area or by
-checking the configuration file of your GitLab instance:
-
-- Using the Admin Area:
-
-  1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
-  1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Metrics and profiling**.
-  1. Expand **Usage Statistics**.
-  1. Are you able to check or uncheck the checkbox to disable Service Ping?
-
-     - If _yes_, your GitLab instance is not affected by this bug.
-     - If you can't check or uncheck the checkbox, you are affected by this bug.
-       See the steps on [how to fix this](#how-to-fix-the-cannot-disable-service-ping-bug).
-
-- Checking your GitLab instance configuration file:
-
-  To check whether you're impacted by this bug, check your instance configuration
-  settings. The configuration file in which Service Ping can be disabled depends
-  on your installation and deployment method, but is typically one of the following:
-
-  - `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` for Omnibus GitLab Linux Package and Docker.
-  - `charts.yaml` for GitLab Helm and cloud-native Kubernetes deployments.
-  - `gitlab.yml` for GitLab installations from source.
-
-  To check the relevant configuration file for strings that indicate whether
-  Service Ping is disabled, you can use `grep`:
-
-  ```shell
-  # Linux package
-  grep "usage_ping_enabled'\] = false" /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
-
-  # Kubernetes charts
-  grep "enableUsagePing: false" values.yaml
-
-  # From source
-  grep "usage_ping_enabled'\] = false" gitlab/config.yml
-  ```
-
-  If you see any output after running the relevant command, your GitLab instance
-  may be affected by the bug. Otherwise, your instance is not affected.
-
-#### How to fix the "Cannot disable Service Ping" bug
-
-To work around this bug, you have two options:
-
-- [Update](../../update/index.md) to GitLab 13.12.4 or newer to fix this bug.
-- If you can't update to GitLab 13.12.4 or newer, enable Service Ping in the
-  configuration file, then disable Service Ping in the UI. For example, if you're
-  using the Linux package:
-
-  1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
-
-     ```ruby
-     gitlab_rails['usage_ping_enabled'] = true
-     ```
-
-  1. Reconfigure GitLab:
-
-     ```shell
-     sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure
-     ```
-
-  1. In GitLab, on the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
-  1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Metrics and profiling**.
-  1. Expand **Usage Statistics**.
-  1. Clear the **Enable Service Ping** checkbox.
-  1. Select **Save Changes**.
