Documentation Grafana Enterprise Logs Reference GEL Node API

GEL Node API

An HTTP API called Node API is available within each GEL binary, and each binary runs either as a microservice (such as an ingester) or in single-process mode where target=all. The Node API fetches basic information about that microservice or single process.
