As the whole rule length / priority / offset thing has long been a source of confusion (e.g. [https://github.com/containous/traefik/issues/1962](https://github.com/containous/traefik/issues/1962) ) there really should be a way to get a dump of all the rules / routes ordered by priority, so it’s easier to see what’s going where. I can’t find this anywhere. Is it possible to get it out of the logs?

This would be VERY helpful (maybe display it in the UI?)

Hello @agilezebra,

There is no mechanism provided by Traefik.

I found some Github issues that can be related to this need:

- [Dashboard features · Issue #5667 · traefik/traefik · GitHub](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5667)
- [Method for debugging priorities in IngressRoute and/or Ingress resources · Issue #7006 · traefik/traefik · GitHub](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/7006)

If you need that, as workaround, you can use the [API](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/v2.3/operations/api/#endpoints) to fetch and extract the data from the router's configuration. The algorithm is: priority = router.priority || len(router.rule)

I spent a few minutes to make a little one-liner for this, requires curl,jq and the [api enabled](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/v2.3/operations/api/):  
edit: prettied it up using the right endpoint instead of rawdata

```auto
curl -sk https://localhost/api/http/routers | jq '[.[]|{name:.name,rule:.rule,priority:(.priority//.rule|length)}]|sort_by(.priority)|reverse' 

```
