Kongmap is a free visualization tool which allows you to view and declaratively edit configurations of your Kong API Gateway Clusters, including Routes, Services, and Plugins/Policies. The tool is available for installation on Docker and Kubernetes only at this time.
View list of latest changes/updates here.
Allows an admin to view a dynamic map of their Kong API Gateway clusters and visually see relationships between Workspaces (for Kong Enterprise), Services, Routes (Endpoints), and Plugins (Policies). Cluster view can also be used to see configuration of the proxy plane of your Kong for Kubernetes Ingress Controller. Clicking on any entity displays details of the entity and related links. Plugins can be toggled from view and map is searchable (search by entity name, Kong tag, workspace, url, or any other details related to a Kong entity.)
If editing is enabled, any Kong entity can be edited from the Cluster View map. Clicking on the edit button from any entity will send user directly to that entity in the declarative editor.
View details of an API Endpoint (Route). The analyzer shows the Service attached to the endpoint/route as well as provides a breakdown of all plugins/policies in order of execution attached to the route/endpoint. For Kong Enterprise users, all entities can be viewed directly via a link to Kong Manager.
If editing is enabled, any Kong entity can be edited from the Endpoint Analyzer map. Clicking on the edit button from any entity will send user directly to that entity in the declarative editor.
KongMap is deployed with a browser based implementation of Kong's CLI tool, decK. Here you can view, edit, and export Kong declarative configurations for your open source and Enterprise clusters via YAML. Configurations can easily be copied and pasted from one Kong cluster to another or between workspaces. Declarative configuration editing can be disabled by KongMap configuration, or managed via RBAC permissions if using Kong Enterprise.
The Viewer/Editor can be invoked from the Cluster Map view by clicking on on any Kong entity, and from any element from the Endpoint Analyzer. Kong entity ID's can be toggled in and out of view with the viewer/editor.
KongMap supports both Kong Open Source and Kong Enterprise Clusters greater than version 1.3 and supports both DB and Non-DB (dbless) Kong configurations. KongMap also supports Kong for Kubernetes Ingress Controller versions greater than 0.5 (In Kong for Kubernetes, the Ingress Controller's proxy container must have its Admin API exposed in some fashion.)
KongMap uses various public CDN's for various UI elements such as Bootstrap, jQuery, etc. so KongMap will not display correctly in a browser on a closed network without Internet access.
Docker image is Alpine 3.11 based running PHP 7.3 on Apache. The container exposes both ports 8100 an 8143 with a self signed certificated.
Below are instructions using the docker run command. For an example using docker-compose, see the example in the examples directory folder.
The connections to your Kong clusters are defined via JSON. The below example illustrates adding two Kong clusters to KongMap:
{
"my enterprise cluster": {
"kong_admin_api_url": "http://kongapi_url:8001",
"kong_edit_config": "true",
"kong_ent": "true",
"kong_ent_token": "admin",
"kong_ent_token_name": "kong-admin-token",
"kong_ent_manager_url": "http://kongmanager_url:8002"
},
"my kong open source cluster": {
"kong_admin_api_url": "http://kongapi_url:8001",
"kong_edit_config": "true",
"kong_ent": "false",
"kong_ent_token": "null",
"kong_ent_token_name": "null",
"kong_ent_manager_url": "null"
}
}Below is a definition of all variables in the KONG_CLUSTERS json config. All variables are required.
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
kong_admin_api_url |
Full URL to Kong Admin API URL. Make sure there are no trailing slashes in the URL or KongMap will not work properly. Example: http://kongadminapi:8001 |
yes |
kong_edit_config |
Boolean. Set to true to allow editing of Kong configs via KongMap. false will only allow readonly access to configs. |
yes |
kong_ent |
Boolean. Set true if you are connecting to a Kong Enterprise Cluster and to enable workspace support in KongMap. Only the default workspace will show if set to false and connected to a Kong Entperprise cluster. Otherwise set to false |
yes |
kong_ent_token |
The admin token for connecting to your Kong Enterprise Cluster Admin API. Set by RBAC configuration in Kong. Can be set to null if not needed. |
yes |
kong_ent_token_name |
The admin token header name for connecting to your Kong Enterprise Cluster Admin API. Typically is kong-admin-token. Can be set to null if not needed. |
yes |
kong_ent_manager_url |
Full URL to a Kong Manager if you wish to open entities in Kong Manager from KongMap. Can be set to null if not needed or if you do not want any Kong Manager buttons shown for the cluster. |
yes |
Export the config to a variable:
export KONG_CLUSTERS='{ "my enterprise cluster": { "kong_admin_api_url": "http://kongapi_url:8001", "kong_edit_config": "true", "kong_ent": "true", "kong_ent_token": "admin", "kong_ent_token_name": "kong-admin-token", "kong_ent_manager_url": "http://kongmanager_url:8002" }}'Run the container with the following command. Set the ports to your preferred exposed ports. The example below exposes KongMap on ports 8100 and 8143.
Notice the KONGMAP_URL variable. Set this variable to the KongMap URL that you will connect to KongMap in your browser. For example, if
running locally and exposing KongMap on port 8100, set to http://localhost:8100.
$ docker run -d \
-e "KONGMAP_CLUSTERS_JSON=$KONG_CLUSTERS" \
-e "KONGMAP_URL=http://url_to_kongmap:8100" \
-p 8100:8100 \
-p 8143:8143 \

If you want to enable authentication to KongMap's UI, it is recommended to run Kongmap behind your Kong Gateway and implement any authentication policies you feel is appropriate (OIDC, OAUTH2, Basic Auth, etc.) at the gateway.
