📊 Status Dashboard

Asteri features a built-in, native monitoring dashboard that provides real-time insights into your server's health, worker performance, and traffic patterns. This eliminatest the need for external monitoring agents in smaller deployments.

Accessing the Dashboard

The dashboard is integrated into the core server and accessible via a dedicated HTTP endpoint.

Endpoint: /asteri-status
Default URL: http://localhost:8000/asteri-status

⚙️ Disabling the Dashboard

If you prefer to hide or disable the monitoring dashboard completely in production, you can pass the --disable-dashboard flag to the CLI, or set disable_dashboard = True in your python configuration file.

🌪️ Zero-Configuration Tornado Integration

For standard worker classes (sync, gthread, asgi, gevent), the status dashboard is served directly at the socket level. For tornado and gtornado workers, Asteri natively wraps the WSGI application with a high-performance TornadoDashboardMiddleware behind the scenes, intercepting /asteri-status and system logs automatically without requiring the developer to add any routing logic to their codebase.

🔒 Security Note

In production, it is highly recommended to protect this endpoint using Nginx auth_basic or by restricting access to internal IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access to server metrics.
