     9  # Consul Web UI
    10  
    11  Consul comes with support for beautiful, functional web UIs out of the
    12  box. UIs can be used for viewing all services and nodes, for viewing
    13  all health checks and their current status, and for reading and setting
    14  key/value data. The UIs automatically support multi-datacenter.
    15  
    16  To set up the self-hosted UI, start the Consul agent with the
    17  [`-ui` parameter](/docs/agent/options.html#_ui):
    18  
    19  ```text
    20  $ consul agent -ui
    21  ...
    22  ```
    23  
    24  The UI is available at the `/ui` path on the same port as the HTTP API.
    25  By default this is `http://localhost:8500/ui`.
    26  
    27  You can view a live demo of the Consul Web UI
    28  [here](http://demo.consul.io).

    30  ## How to Use the Legacy UI
    31  
    32  As of Consul version 1.2.0 the original Consul UI is deprecated. You can
    33  still enable it by setting the environment variable `CONSUL_UI_LEGACY` to `true`.
    34  Without this environment variable, the web UI will default to the latest version.
    35  To use the latest UI version, either set `CONSUL_UI_LEGACY` to false or don't 
    36  include that environment variable at all.
