# Operate KubeMQ (/operate)



Once KubeMQ is deployed and configured, this is where you keep it healthy. KubeMQ exposes metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, and an audit trail, so you always have visibility into what the server is doing and can catch issues early. Operators interact with a running broker through the web dashboard and the kmq CLI.
