Kong Manager

Kong Manager is the graphical user interface (GUI) for Kong Gateway. It uses the Kong Admin API under the hood to administer and control Kong Gateway. It comes in two options, depending on the edition of Kong Gateway that you’re running: open-source or enterprise.

Here’s a comparison of some of the capabilities you get access to between the Kong Manager Enterprise (or Free mode) edition, and the OSS edition:

Capability	Kong Manager Enterprise	Kong Manager OSS
Manage all workspaces in one place	✅	❌
Create and manage routes and services	✅	✅
Activate or deactivate plugins	✅	✅
Manage certificates	✅	✅
Group your services, plugins, consumers, and everything else exactly how you want them	✅	❌
Manage teams	✅	❌
Manage users and roles for Kong Gateway	✅	❌
Centrally store and easily access key sets and keys	✅	✅
Manage vaults	✅	✅

Note: If you are running Kong in traditional mode, increased traffic could lead to potential performance issues for the Kong proxy. Server-side sorting and filtering large quantities of entities can also cause increased CPU usage in both Kong Gateway and its database.

To access Kong Manager, go to the following URL after installing Kong Gateway (OSS): http://localhost:8002
