Monitoring

Health check

curl http://localhost:5000/health

Returns {"status":"healthy"} with HTTP 200 when the app is serving. Exempt from rate limiting.

Docker health status

The container ships with a health check configured:

docker inspect bakwas-app | grep -A 10 Health

Docker marks the container healthy after three successful checks (~90 seconds from start).

Logs

The container logs to stdout/stderr:

docker logs -f bakwas-app
# or
docker-compose logs -f bakwas

Both Gunicorn access logs and Flask application logs appear in the same stream.

Verbose LLM debugging

Set DEBUG=True in .env to enable verbose LiteLLM logging. Useful when diagnosing provider-specific issues — the logs will show the exact request/response shapes.
