Accessing the FlinkServer Web UI

Scenario

After Flink is installed in an MRS cluster, you can connect to clusters and data as well as manage stream tables and jobs using the Flink web UI.

This section describes how to access the Flink web UI in an MRS cluster. Site trust must be added to the browser when you access Manager and the Flink web UI for the first time. Otherwise, the Flink web UI cannot be accessed.

Accessing the FlinkServer Web UI

1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager as a user with FlinkServer Admin Privilege. Choose Cluster > Services > Flink.
   

   If your MRS cluster requires Kerberos authentication, create a role with the FlinkServer administrator permission or the application viewing and editing permission, and associate the role to the user. Then, you can access the Flink web UI. For details about how to create a role, see Creating a FlinkServer Role.

2. On the right of Flink WebUI, click the link to access the Flink web UI.
