Getting the web UI URL

After you provision an instance of the IBM Cloud Monitoring service in the IBM Cloud, you can monitor metrics through the IBM Cloud Monitoring web UI. You can launch the web UI from the IBM Cloud UI.

You can also get the monitoring web UI URL by undocking the dashboard.

To get the web UI URL, complete the following steps from a terminal:

1. [Pre-requisite] Installation of the IBM Cloud CLI. Learn more.

2. Log in to the location in the IBM Cloud where the instance is provisioned. Run the following command: ibmcloud login

3. Set the resource group where the instance is available. Run the following command: ibmcloud target

   By default, the default resource group is set.

4. Get the dashboard URL. Run the following command:

   ic resource service-instance INSTANCE_NAME --output JSON | grep dashboard_url
   

Where INSTANCE_NAME is the name of the instance.

To get the name of the instances that are available in a resource group, you can run ibmcloud resource service-instances.
