Quickstart
Install the CLI, authenticate, and capture your first request through a secure tunnel.
1. Install the CLI
Install the r3v CLI globally:
npm install -g r3v-cli
2. Authenticate
Log in from your terminal. This will open the browser to confirm access:
r3v auth login
3. Start a tunnel
With your local API running on localhost:3000, start a tunnel:
r3v tunnel api:3000
You'll get a public https:// URL that forwards traffic back to your local server.
4. View requests in the dashboard
Open the dashboard and send a few requests through your tunnel. You should start seeing live traffic show up.
Open the dashboard5. (Optional) Connect your cluster agent
For Kubernetes and multi-cluster setups, deploy the R3VERB cluster agent into each cluster you want to observe. Each cluster gets exactly one agent, authenticated back to your organization.
You can either provision a database-backed cluster token from the dashboard, or in a single-tenant control-plane deployment configure the env-based fast path usingR3V_CLUSTER_AGENT_KEYand matching org/cluster IDs. The agent then sends that value as a bearer token to establish a secure connection.
