# 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.
|
|
|
|
<div class="center">
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
To set up the self-hosted UI, start the Consul agent with the
|
|
[`-ui` parameter](/docs/agent/options.html#_ui):
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ 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](http://demo.consul.io).
