Dashboard Guide

Crate’s managed dashboard provides a point-and-click way to manage your API Gateway. This guide covers some of the key administrative tasks you can perform within the web interface.

Organisation Overview

When you first log in, you’ll see your Organization Overview. This displays an overview of your active domains, total requests, and any active alerts.

Domain Management

The Domains tab is where you manage your hostnames. From there, you can:

• Add New Domains: For custom APIs or branding.
• Verification Status: Monitor TXT and CNAME verification.
• SSL Status: See when your certificates were issued and when they will renew.

Rule Configuration

Clicking on a domain allows you to configure specific Rules. You can specify:

• Path matching: Static or wildcard.
• Backend destination: Local or remote.
• Rate limiting: Override domain defaults for specific paths.
• Middleware: Enable authentication or transformation plugins.
