Start the Drill Web UI

The Drill Web UI is one of several client interfaces that you can use to access Drill.

Accessing the Drill Web UI

To open the Drill Web UI, launch a web browser, and go to one of the following URLs:

If HTTPS support is disabled, use the default URL: http://<IP address or host name>:8047
If HTTPS support is enabled, use this URL: https://<IP address or host name>:8047

If user authentication is not enabled, all the Drill Web UI controls appear to users and administrators, including Query, Profiles, Storage, Metrics, and Threads:

User authentication not enabled

If user authentication is enabled, Drill prompts you for a user name and password:

prompt for credentials

If an administrator logs in, all the Drill Web UI controls appear, including Query, Profiles, Storage, Metrics, Threads, and Options. For administrators, the Profiles page contains the profiles of all queries executed on a cluster. Only administrators can see and use the Storage tab to view, update, or add a new storage plugin configuration. Only administrators can see and use the Threads tab, which provides information about threads running in Drill.

administrator UI controls

If a non-administrative user logs in, the Drill Web UI controls are limited to Query, Metrics, and Profiles. The Profiles tab for a non-administrative user contains the profiles of all queries the user issued either through ODBC, JDBC, or the Drill Web UI.
