Accessing the web apps

You can access all DataMiner web apps via the DataMiner landing page.

💡 TIPS TO TAKE FLIGHT
Did you know that, depending on the configuration and version of your DMS, you can access certain web apps from the Apps pane in DataMiner Cube as well?

DataMiner landing page

To access the DataMiner landing page:

  1. In a supported web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Safari), navigate to:

    https://[DMA]/root/
    

    Replace [DMA] with the IP address or hostname of the DataMiner Agent you want to connect to.

    Note
    • If you are trying to use the remote access URL (e.g. https://ziine-skyline.on.dataminer.services/root/) to access the web apps, make sure you have been granted remote access.
    • System Administrators can configure whether the landing page is displayed or whether the Monitoring app opens directly when a user browses to a DMA. If the Monitoring app opens directly, you can access the other web apps by clicking the icon in the top-left corner.
  2. Sign in using your DataMiner credentials.

  3. On the landing page, select the app you want to open. See Available web apps.

  2. Click the cogwheel button in the top-right corner of the page.

  3. Select one of the available themes:

    • Light (Default)

    • Dark

Installing a web app as a standalone app

In many browsers, it is possible to install a web app as a standalone app on your computer.

To do so:

  1. Open the web app.

  2. Click the install button on the right side of the browser address bar.

    Note

    The install button will not appear in the browser address bar if you used a remote access URL to open the web app.

  3. Select Install.

  4. Optionally, you can pin the app to your taskbar or add a desktop shortcut to quickly open it.
