  • I added support for specifying ports when starting the Konnect DP, could I get another check that I added it correctly? ChatGPT helped me with it. I checked several how tos, both on prem and Konnect, and they all seem to render correctly, so I think this worked.
• Added to Prometheus tile: https://deploy-preview-1752--kongdeveloper.netlify.app/gateway/monitoring/#how-do-i-monitor-kong-gateway-metrics
