This path starts a development instance bound to 127.0.0.1:4173. Use the automated installer for a production deployment.

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 20 or later
  • npm
  • Access to the private Lookout repository

2

Validate the configuration

The example is safe for loopback-only development and stores state outside the config directory.
3

Start Lookout

Open http://127.0.0.1:4173 to view the local console.
4

Verify health

In another terminal:
The unauthenticated health response contains aggregate runtime state, not event or graph contents.
5

Query the graph

Next steps
