To access the *KAgent* UI and begin setting up a cluster:

<Tip>
  Review [KAgent](/content/admin/kagent/kagent) for more information on
  *KAgent* and its features.
</Tip>

1. Ensure the *KAgent* service is started:

   ```
   service kagent_ui status
   ```
2. Browse to the *KAgent* UI using IP or host name:

   ```
   http://<kagent-host>:8081/kagent
   ```
3. Optionally, if using custom rings, i.e. not the `default` ring, click
   **Rings** then click **Clusters** next to the desired
   ring. See [High Availability Architecture](/content/ha/ha_architecture) for more information about rings and
   high availability (HA).
4. Click **Add New or Existing Cluster**.
