Provide a way of hiding http endpoints from the dashboard (for GRPC endpoints for example)

[vmykagapuz]

INSTALL STEPS

1. Clean machine: Win11 x64 23h2 ENU
2. Install SDK 9.0 GA
3. Install Aspire 9.0 GA
4. Install VS or VSCode

REPRO STEPS

1. Create .NET Project > Aspire Starter App > give a name 'AspireApp1'
2. Right-click the web project > Open in Integrated Terminal > add aspire component
   • dotnet add package Aspire.Qdrant.Client --version 9.0.0
3. Right-click the xxx.AppHost project > Open in Integrated Terminal > add aspire component
   • dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Qdrant --version 9.0.0
4. In the Program.cs of web project, type following codes:
   builder.AddQdrantClient("qdrant");
5. Open appsettings.json of xxx.AppHost project, add ConnectionStrings configuration section:

	{
	  "ConnectionStrings": {
	    "qdrant": "Endpoint=http://localhost:6334;Key=123456!@#$%"
	  }
	}

6. Open Program.cs of xxx.AppHost project, add following codes:

	var qdrant = builder.AddQdrant("qdrant");
	
	var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
	                       .WithReference(qdrant);

7. Build and start debugging

ACTUAL
The endpoints shows different results.

EXPECTED
The endpoints should have the same results.

The reason why one of those doesn't work is because it is a GRPC endpoint. We should consider indicating somehow in the dashboard that those links are not expected to work.

I have the same issue but from a different point of view.
In KeyCloak for example you can enable healthchecks. Healthchecks in keycloak runs on their own endpoint. But this endpoint is not really usefull for the user of the dashboard. But after adding it, it's always the first https endpoint. So often I missclick. It would be nice to be able todo something like:

resource.WithEndpoint(targetPort: 9000, scheme: "https", name: "health", hide: true)

@DamianEdwards this is possible with your change in 9.2.

@davidfowl for readers here, which exact change? I can change urls and display text, but how do I hide an endpoint?

[davidfowl]

You can remove the url from the list of urls that show up

[DamianEdwards]

var qdrant = builder.AddQdrant("qdrant")
    .WithUrls(c =>
    {
        if (c.Urls.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Endpoint?.Name == "grpc") is { } grpcUrl)
        {
            c.Urls.Remove(grpcUrl);
        }
    });
