Launch the UI

Open the kagent dashboard using the CLI or port-forwarding.
Access the kagent dashboard to manage your agents, tools, and models. You can open the dashboard by using the kagent CLI command or by port-forwarding the kagent UI service.
Before you begin

Make sure that kagent is installed in your cluster and the kagent UI service is running.
kubectl get svc -n kagent kagent-ui
Launch the UI with the CLI

The easiest way to launch the kagent dashboard is by using the kagent dashboard command. This command automatically sets up port-forwarding and opens the dashboard in your browser.
Note: The kagent dashboard command is currently available on macOS. On other platforms, use the port-forwarding method described in the next section.
  1. Run the dashboard command:
    kagent dashboard
    The command port-forwards the kagent-ui service to localhost:8082 and opens the dashboard in your default browser.
  2. Access the dashboard at http://localhost:8082.
  3. When you’re done, press Enter in the terminal to stop the port-forward.
Launch the UI with port-forwarding

If you prefer to manually set up port-forwarding, or if you’re on a platform where the kagent CLI isn’t available, you can port-forward the service yourself.
  1. Port-forward the kagent-ui service to your local machine. The following command forwards port 8080 from the service to port 8082 on your local machine.
    kubectl port-forward -n kagent service/kagent-ui 8082:8080
  2. In your browser, open the dashboard at http://localhost:8082.
  3. When you’re done, stop the port-forward by pressing Ctrl+C in the terminal where the port-forward is running.
