  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/address.yaml

cluster_name.conf

The location of the cluster_name.conf file depends on the type of installation:

  • Tarball installations: install_location/conf/clusters/cluster_name.conf

Procedure

  1. Open address.yaml for editing.
  2. Set the swagger_enabled option to true.
  3. Restart the agents.
  4. Navigate to the UI: 
    http(s)://{agent_ip}:{api_port}/ui
    Use https or http as appropriate for your environment. Replace agent_ip with the IP address of the particular agent. Replace the api_port with the port configured for your environment. Typically, the api_port is 61621. Configure the API port using the api_port option in address.yaml or [agents] api_port in cluster_name.conf.
