FAQ

Questions Kong Gateway owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I check if my Kong Gateway instance is running correctly?

    You can use the get_status capability. It will return the current status of the Kong node, including database connectivity and server metrics.

  • 02

    Can I list all the plugins currently enabled on my gateway?

    Yes! Use the list_plugins capability to retrieve a complete list of all configured plugins across your entire Kong instance.

  • 03

    Is it possible to create a new service and its route through the AI?

    Absolutely. You can use create_service to define your upstream and then create_route to specify how traffic should reach that service.
