First proxy

Create a route

Match requests and bind them to a cluster.

Goal

Create a route that matches host/path/method and forwards to your cluster.

Prerequisites

  • Host and cluster with destinations exist.

Steps (console)

  1. Open Topology → Routes.
  2. Create a route.
  3. Bind it to the host and cluster.
  4. Set path match (often / or /{**catch-all} depending on UI defaults).
  5. Optionally restrict HTTP methods.
  6. Save (expect auto-publish).

Matching tips

Match Use when
Host Multi-site on one Proxy
Path prefix APIs under /api vs static site
Methods Lock down to GET/POST as needed

Transforms (header rewrite, path rewrite, redirect) can be added under Gateway or route settings—see Routes and transforms.

Verify

  • Route appears linked to the correct cluster.
  • Config version increments (Config → Versions) after save.
