    name: Traefik REST API
    description: >-
      The Traefik REST API exposes runtime configuration and state for all
      routers, services, middlewares, and entry points in a running Traefik
      instance. It provides read-only HTTP endpoints for inspecting HTTP, TCP,
      and UDP routing configuration, as well as version and overview statistics.
      The API must be enabled in static configuration and should be secured
      before use in production.

    description: >-
      The Traefik Ping API provides a simple health check endpoint at `/ping`
      that returns HTTP 200 with the body "OK" when the Traefik process is
      alive and ready. It is used for liveness probes in container orchestration
      environments and can be configured on a dedicated entry point.

      The Traefik Dashboard is a built-in web UI that provides a real-time
      visual overview of all configured routers, services, middlewares, and
      entry points. It is served from the same API handler as the REST API
      and can be accessed via the Traefik entry point or a custom route.
