xtdb-inspector

Web UI for inspecting XTDB database

Demo:

Browsing documents and showing history:

Query viewer and saved queries:

Running

To simply try it out, start repl with :dev alias:

• eval (start) in your REPL
• eval (some-docs) in your REPL to generate test docs
• open http://localhost:3000/doc/%3Ahello in browser

Other way is to embed in an existing web application that uses XTDB. The xtdb-inspector.core/inspector-handler returns a ring handler. See monitoring below for config that needs to be added to the XTDB node.

Monitoring

To enable the UI access to the XTDB monitoring, configure the monitoring reporter in the XTDB node config:

:xtdb-inspector.metrics/reporter {}

Custom URI prefix

Sometime (e.g., when embedding xtdb-inspector in another web application) there is a need for having all of its URLs prefixed. Simply set the environment variable XTDB_INSPECTOR_URI_PREFIX:

• run export XTDB_INSPECTOR_URI_PREFIX=/_inspector in your shell
• eval (start) in your REPL
• eval (some-docs) in your REPL
• open http://localhost:3000/_inspector/doc/%3Ahello in a browser.
