+The six Kong gateways share a single dashboard, `obs-kong-gateways`, with a
+`gateway` selector at the top (one, several, or all). Its variable resolves a
+subtlety of this setup: the metrics label is the full gateway name
+(`catalog-dev`) while the audit-log label is the short domain (`catalog`). The
+variable holds the short form, PromQL re-adds the `-dev` suffix, and LogQL uses
+it as-is — so one control drives both signals. The capture group in its regex
+also drops the unrelated `kong` gateway, which carries no `-dev` suffix.
+
 Their manifests live in the `infra-keycloak`, `infra-librechat` and
 `classic-models-api` repositories; this repository only holds the platform.
