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.
