'In gitlab CI is there a way to visualise custom output files
I am migrating from Jenkins CI to gitlab CI. In jenkins I was able to parse some extra output files - for example a my_results.xml file which has some lines in XML which we could parse into a custom visualisation like the ones below:
Note: these are just example visualisations.
My XML might have some simple lines like:
<summary>
<warnings>10</warnings>
<errors>2</errors>
</summary>
This would be displayed over time into a graph like in the images above. Is it possible to write a custom parser / visualiser in gitalb CI?

There is no such thing in GitLab as Jenkins plugins.
But you could - for instance - develop a side application that interacts with GitLab through its APIs.
There, you'll be able to do whatever you want. For instance download Job artifacts, store them in a timeseries database, display them in a dashboard.
If the application is a pure web client, it could even be hosted in GitLab pages.
