Request Inspector

Overview​

The request inspector allows you to debug incoming requests, view headers and other information that can facilitate application development work. It is available for the tuna http, tuna postgres, tuna redis commands and is controlled by the --inspect flag or the TUNA_INSPECT environment variable.

Management​

The request inspector is enabled by default and is available at http://127.0.0.1:4040. If port 4040 is busy, the next available port will be selected. You can disable the inspector with the --inspect=false flag or the TUNA_INSPECT=false variable. The address or port can be overridden using the TUNA_INSPECT_ADDR environment variable or the inspectAddr parameter in the configuration file.

  • TUNA_INSPECT_ADDR=0.0.0.0 - listen on all interfaces
  • TUNA_INSPECT_ADDR=0.0.0.0:8080 - listen on all interfaces on port 8080, if the port is busy, the next available port will be selected
  • TUNA_INSPECT_ADDR=8080 - listen on address 127.0.0.1 on port 8080, if the port is busy, the next available port will be selected

The final address will be printed in the console at startup:
