1 week ago Hello contributors!
I am marking this issue as stale as it has not received any engagement from the community or maintainers for a year. That does not imply that the issue has no merit! If you feel strongly about this issue
- open a PR referencing and resolving the issue;
- leave a comment on it and discuss ideas on how you could contribute towards resolving it;
- leave a comment and describe in detail why this issue is critical for your use case;
- open a new issue with updated details and a plan for resolving the issue.
Throughout its lifetime, Ory has received over 10.000 issues and PRs. To sustain that growth, we need to prioritize and focus on issues that are important to the community. A good indication of importance, and thus priority, is activity on a topic.
Unfortunately, burnout has become a topic of concern amongst open-source projects.
It can lead to severe personal and health issues as well as opening catastrophic attack vectors.
The motivation for this automation is to help prioritize issues in the backlog and not ignore, reject, or belittle anyone.
If this issue was marked as stale erroneously you can exempt it by adding the backlog label, assigning someone, or setting a milestone for it.
Thank you for your understanding and to anyone who participated in the conversation! And as written above, please do participate in the conversation if this topic is important to you!
Thank you 🙏✌️

Describe your problem
As a Kratos administrator or developer, I want to view the configuration for my running application, so that I can more easily observe the system.
I'm looking at the Kratos config here: https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/reference/configuration I understand there are various ways to override the default values via env vars as well as the
--config path/to/config.yamlflag. But how can I see the "current running config" for my Kratos instance? There doesn't seem to be a way.For example, I'm troubleshooting an issue where Kratos is behaving as if
selfservice.allowed_return_urlsisn't being set. I want to verify whether that's correctly configured to help me debug.This feature would also be useful when triaging support requests, so that users can easily upload their current config along with a bug report.
This issue applies to the Hydra application as well.
Describe your ideal solution
We can implement an HTTP endpoint (eg:
/admin/status) which returns the configuration for that service. It would help debug whether a config value has been correctly overridden, or replaced with a default value, etc.Here's an example of the
/statusendpoint that Grafana uses for one of their products: https://grafana.com/docs/tempo/latest/api_docs/#statusWorkarounds or alternatives
Alternatively we can update the CLI to output the current config, but it seems less convenient since it requires shelling into the server.
A workaround, in place of this feature, is to rely on log statements to understand the config's state. But it's often preferable to view the whole config in one place.
Another workaround is to view the config values from the traces, as mentioned here: https://github.com/ory/kratos/discussions/3027#discussioncomment-4705182 But I'm not sure if that covers all config values, or if that feature is actually working.

I'm also open to implementing this feature! If these requirements sound reasonable, then maybe we can discuss a high-level approach as a next step.
