[[access]]
== Access {kib}
The fastest way to access {kib} is to use our hosted {es} Service. If you <<install, installed {kib} on your own>>, access {kib} through the web application.

[[log-on-to-the-web-application]]
=== Log on to the web application
If you are using a self-managed deployment, you access {kib} through the web application on port 5601.
. Point your web browser to the machine where you are running {kib} and specify the port number. For example, `localhost:5601` or `http://YOURDOMAIN.com:5601`.
. To allow remote users to connect to {kib}, set the parameter `server.host` in kibana.yml to a non-loopback address.
. On the home page, click *{kib}*.
+
To make the {kib} page your landing page, click *Make this my landing page*.
[float]
[[status]]
=== Check the {kib} status
To view the {kib} status page, use the status endpoint. For example, `localhost:5601/status`. The status page displays
information about the server resource usage and installed plugins.
