Start the broker from First start. Open the dashboard in a browser:

Before you start

  • Start the broker from First start.
  • Use a browser on the same machine.
  • Use the file below. It allows anonymous clients.
[node]
id = "docs-console"


[listeners.tcp]
bind = "0.0.0.0:1883"


[listeners.api]
bind = "0.0.0.0:18083"


[logging]
level = "warn"


[auth]
allow_anonymous = true

Check that it works

Open http://localhost:18083/dashboard. Use port 18083 or your API bind. The dashboard serves a 200 answer.

    Browser["browser"] -- "open :18083" --> API["listeners.api"]

sock.sendall(b"GET /dashboard HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: docs\r\n\r\n")
print(sock.makefile().read().splitlines()[0].split()[1])

The operator command shows the same broker in a terminal:

Terminal window
# Output lists live nodes and varies. The example test does not compare it.
indra ctl --endpoint http://localhost:18083 --api-key "$API_KEY" status
