To access TiDB Dashboard, visit http://127.0.0.1:2379/dashboard via your browser. Replace 127.0.0.1:2379
with the actual PD instance address and port.
Note:
TiDB v6.5.0 (and later) and TiDB Operator v1.4.0 (and later) support deploying TiDB Dashboard as an independent Pod on Kubernetes. Using TiDB Operator, you can access the IP address of this Pod to start TiDB Dashboard. For details, see Deploy TiDB Dashboard independently in TiDB Operator.
When multiple multiple PD instances are deployed in your cluster and you can directly access every PD instance and port, you can simply replace 127.0.0.1:2379
in the http://127.0.0.1:2379/dashboard/ address with any PD instance address and port.
Note:
If a firewall or reverse proxy is configured and you cannot directly access every PD instance, you might not be able to access TiDB Dashboard. Usually, this is because the firewall or reverse proxy is not correctly configured. See Use TiDB Dashboard behind Reverse Proxy and Secure TiDB Dashboard to learn how to correctly configure the firewall or reverse proxy when multiple PD instances are deployed.
You can use TiDB Dashboard in the following common desktop browsers of a relatively newer version:
- Chrome >= 77

Note:
If you use the browsers above of earlier versions or other browsers to access TiDB Dashboard, some functions might not work properly.
