Operations and Metrics

The old topology canvas is not part of the current Gateway architecture.

Use runtime endpoints + Dash/API views for operational visibility.

Health endpoints (port 80)

• GET /health
• GET /healthz

These are intended for node/lb health checks.

Runtime metrics/status (Connect control port, default 9001)

• GET /status - backend ping status snapshot
• GET /stats - active backend connections
• GET /players - active players per route
• GET /throughput - bytes per route/backend
• GET /metrics - Prometheus exposition

Quick checks

curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:80/health
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:9001/status
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:9001/metrics | head

Dash/API operations

Use Dash Connect gateway panels (permission-gated) for:

• gateway node inventory
• active route ownership overview
• gateway enable/disable actions

Metrics can be scraped from /metrics into Prometheus/Grafana for long-term dashboards and alerting.
