# Consul Web UI
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Consul comes with support for a
|
||||||
|
[beautiful, functional web UI](http://demo.consul.io) out of the box.
|
||||||
|
This UI can be used for viewing all services and nodes, viewing all
|
||||||
|
health checks and their current status, and for reading and setting
|
||||||
|
key/value data. The UI automatically supports multi-datacenter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For ease of deployment, the UI is
|
||||||
|
[distributed](/downloads_web_ui.html)
|
||||||
|
as static HTML and JavaScript.
|
||||||
|
You don't need a separate web server to run the web UI. The Consul
|
||||||
|
agent itself can be configured to serve the UI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Screenshot and Demo
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can view a live demo of the Consul Web UI
|
||||||
|
[here](http://demo.consul.io).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A screenshot of one page of the demo is shown below so you can get an
|
||||||
|
idea of what the web UI is like. Click the screenshot for the full size.

|
## Set Up
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To set up the web UI,
|
||||||
|
[download the web UI package](/downloads_web_ui.html)
|
||||||
|
and unzip it to a directory somewhere on the server where the Consul agent
|
||||||
|
is also being run. Then, just append the `-ui-dir` to the `consul agent`
|
||||||
|
command pointing to the directory where you unzipped the UI (the
|
||||||
|
directory with the `index.html` file):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
$ consul agent -ui-dir /path/to/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`.
