Accessing the dashboard

After starting the Sensu backend, you can access the dashboard in your browser by visiting http://localhost:3000. You may need to replace localhost with the hostname or IP address where the Sensu backend is running.

Signing in

Sign in to the dashboard with your sensuctl username and password. See the role-based access control reference for default user credentials and instructions for creating new users.

Namespaces

The dashboard displays events, entities, checks, and silences for a single namespace at a time. By default, the dashboard displays the default namespace. To switch namespaces, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner, and choose a namespace from the dropdown.
