Observability Webserver

The Asset Link also starts a web server that contains a REST API for observability reasons. The web server is enabled for the GoReleaser builds by default and the following endpoints are currently available

To enable the web server, the Go build constraint webserver is used (see Go build contraints). The tag can be enabled by adding -tags webserver to the go run command. For example go run -tags webserver main.go

The web server listening port is localhost:8082 by default. The following HTTP paths are currently available.
