Consul Web UI
Consul comes with support for beautiful, functional web UIs out of the box. UIs can be used for viewing all services and nodes, for viewing all health checks and their current status, and for reading and setting key/value data. The UIs automatically support multi-datacenter.
To set up the self-hosted UI, start the Consul agent with the
-ui parameter:
$ consul agent -ui
...
The UI is available at the /ui path on the same port as the HTTP API.
By default this is http://localhost:8500/ui.
You can view a live demo of the Consul Web UI here.
How to Use the New UI
On May 11, 2018, our redesign of the web UI went into beta. You can use it with
Consul 1.1.0 by setting the environment variable CONSUL_UI_BETA to true.
Without this environment variable, the web UI will default to the old version. To
use the old UI version, either set CONSUL_UI_BETA to false, or don't include
that environment variable at all.
Next Steps
This concludes our Getting Started guide. See the next steps page to learn more about how to continue your journey with Consul!
