The catalogue is browse-only: it lists every plugin AILIX ships. You attach a plugin from the catalogue onto a service, route, or consumer; the attachment lives on the receiving object. See [Attaching a plugin](/api-gateway/api-gateway/browsing-the-plugin-catalogue.md#attach-a-plugin-from-the-catalogue-onto-a-service-route-or-consumer). #### Where do I find one consolidated analytics dashboard? Observability is split into three purpose-built surfaces rather than one combined dashboard. Use **Custom Widgets** to build the metric tiles you watch every day, **Custom Reports** for saved filtered tabular views, and **Request Traces** to drill into the timing of an individual request. #### What's the difference between a Developer, a User, and an App? Three distinct objects: * **User.** A portal account, used by your operators (you). * **Developer.** An external party that consumes your APIs. Created in the portal but does not authenticate against it. * **App.** A registered application owned by a developer. Carries the client-ID and client-secret that AILIX validates at the gateway. #### Where do API consumers sign in to read documentation? Not in the Helix Portal. There is a separate consumer-facing developer surface (read-only documentation, no login). You hand the developer credentials out-of-band and point them at the consumer-facing URL. The consumer surface is configured separately and is out of scope for this guide. #### Can I run AILIX on-premises? Yes. AILIX is delivered as SaaS, in your private cloud, and as a fully on-premises deployment. The portal is identical across all three; the difference is which networks the gateway can reach. Installation is out of scope for this guide. #### Where does AILIX log changes? Every write through the portal is recorded in the AILIX audit log. The audit log is reachable through your AILIX administrator's runbook; it captures actor, action, resource, and timestamp. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.digitalapi.ai/api-gateway/reference/faqs.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
