Admin UI

The EventStoreDB Admin UI is available at SERVER_IP:2113 and helps you interact with and manage a cluster in a visual way. This guide explains the tabs of the interface and what they do.

TIP

The embedded EventStoreDB web interface is reaching its end of life. We are working on a replacement, and you can try using the Early Preview of Event Store Navigator app instead. It doesn't have full feature parity with the embedded web UI, but it already has usability improvements compared to it.

Dashboard

The Dashboard tab shows an overview of active queues with associated statistics in the top half. The + icon indicates a queue group, click it to reveal the queues that are part of the group.

The second half of the tab shows active connections to EventStoreDB and information about them.

Click the Snapshot button in the top right to output a snapshot of all queue statistics at the time you clicked the button.
