Manage UI

The dashboard includes a pre-alpha Manage console for sources and API keys.

Open Manage

Local: http://localhost:5081/manage

From the home page, use Manage sources & keys, or the Manage link in the header.

Sources tab

• Lists every source name seen in persisted logs (from log_entries)
• Shows entry count and last received time
• Tail opens /tail/{source} for live viewing
• New source walks you through picking a name and shows a sample curl — sources exist once you ingest with that name

There is no separate “sources” table yet; names are created on first ingest.

API keys tab

• Lists keys by name, prefix (ql_{prefix}_…), status, and last used time
• Create API key — plaintext shown once in a dialog; save it immediately
• Revoke — deactivates the key; ingest with that key returns 401

Requirements

• API running with Postgres configured (keys and source stats need persistence)
• Management API enabled — on by default in Development (QikLog:Management:Enabled=true)

Production disables management endpoints until login (#12) protects them.

Management API (optional)

When enabled, the API also exposes:

Method	Path	Purpose
GET	/v1/sources	List source summaries
GET	/v1/keys	List API keys (no secrets)
POST	/v1/keys	Create key (plaintext once)
POST	/v1/keys/{id}/revoke	Revoke key

Next steps

• API keys — use keys on ingest
• Live tail — watch a source after ingesting
