Server

A on an instance opens its server screen. It has four tabs: API keys, proxies, Docker hosts and database. tab and shift+tab move between them, and 1–4 jump to one. The footer shows the keys of the open tab; ? lists them all.

API keys

Keys for Kuma's metrics endpoint, for Prometheus or Grafana to read.

• n makes one: a name, such as grafana, and when it expires — never, a date like 2026-12-31, or a date and time like 2026-12-31 18:00. The key is shown once: copy it then, because lazykuma does not keep it and Kuma does not show it again.
• space enables or disables the key under the cursor.
• d deletes it, after asking.

Proxies

Proxies that monitors can check through.

• n adds one, e edits it, d deletes it after asking.
• The form takes the protocol (http, https, socks, socks5, socks5h or socks4, switched with ←/→), the host and port, and, with authentication ticked, a username and password.
• default for new monitors makes it the proxy monitors created afterwards use.
• use it on every existing monitor now sets it on every monitor of the instance as it saves, after asking.

Passwords are never shown. Editing a proxy with the password field left empty keeps the one it has.

Docker hosts

Docker daemons that docker monitors check containers on.

• n adds one, e edits it, d deletes it after asking.
• The form takes a name, the connection type — socket or tcp, switched with ←/→ — and the daemon: a socket path such as /var/run/docker.sock, or an address such as tcp://10.0.0.7:2375.
• t on the list, or ctrl+t in the form before saving, tests that Kuma reaches the daemon.

A docker monitor's docker_host field, in the field editor, takes a host's id.

Database

The size of Kuma's database.

• s shrinks it, after asking. That is for SQLite; on MariaDB there is nothing to shrink.
• X clears every monitor's statistics, after you type the instance's name. What lazykuma already shows stays on screen; the charts fill again as monitors check.
• r asks Kuma for the size again.
