Perplexity

Check all network components in one view.

Need to know what's running? You can list every available component on the proxy. Use `list_entrypoints` to see active ingress points, or run `list_http_routers` and `list_tcp_routers` to get a full map of your current routing rules. This gives you an immediate overview without needing to SSH in. It’s perfect for checking if a new service is registered correctly across all types: `list_udp_services`, `list_http_services`, and so on.

Inspect HTTP traffic flow details.

When debugging web services, you need more than just names. You can check specific rules using tools like `get_http_router` or inspect the associated backends with `get_http_service`. Knowing how the middleware is applied via `get_http_middleware` saves hours of guesswork. It's useful for confirming that a route hits exactly what it should. You can trace everything from the incoming request to the final destination service.

Get raw, deep proxy configuration data.

Sometimes you just need the source truth—the actual config file contents. The `get_rawdata` tool pulls the entire Traefik runtime configuration directly into your chat session. This is massive for auditing or troubleshooting complex deployments where simple listings don't cut it. You get the full context needed to debug issues outside of standard logs.
