This is the documentation for Cloudera Manager 5.0.x. Documentation for other versions is available at Cloudera Documentation.

Starting and Logging into the Admin Console

The Cloudera Manager Server URL takes the following form http://Server host:port, where Server host is the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the host where the Cloudera Manager Server is installed and port is the port configured for the Cloudera Manager Server. The default port is 7180.
  1. Wait several minutes for the Cloudera Manager Server to complete its startup. To observe the startup process you can perform tail -f /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log on the Cloudera Manager Server host. If the Cloudera Manager Server does not start, see Troubleshooting Installation and Upgrade Problems.
  2. In a web browser, enter http://Server host:7180, where Server host is the fully-qualified domain name or IP address of the host where you installed the Cloudera Manager Server. The login screen for Cloudera Manager Admin Console displays.
  3. Log into Cloudera Manager Admin Console. The default credentials are: Username: admin Password: admin. Cloudera Manager does not support changing the admin username for the installed account. You can change the password using Cloudera Manager after you run the installation wizard. While you cannot change the admin username, you can add a new user, assign administrative privileges to the new user, and then delete the default admin account.
