Cluster management API
The cluster management API lets you manage a Self-Managed Orchestration Cluster at runtime, including its topology, exporters, backups, and upgrade readiness.
About this API
The API is a set of custom endpoints available through Spring Boot Actuator on the management port (default 9600). It's separate from the Orchestration Cluster API.
note
The management port is typically not publicly exposed. If the machine where you run requests can't reach the gateway, create a private connection such as kubectl port-forward svc/camunda-zeebe-gateway 9600:9600, then use localhost as the gateway host.
