Access the Chaos Dashboard

After installation, the Dashboard is exposed by the chaos-dashboard Service in the install namespace (default chaos-mesh). Port 2333 serves the UI.

Option 1: kubectl port-forward (works on any cluster)

kubectl port-forward -n chaos-mesh svc/chaos-dashboard 2333:2333

Open http://localhost:2333/ in your browser.

Option 2: NodePort

If the Service type is NodePort, find the allocated port and open it on a node IP:

kubectl get svc -n chaos-mesh chaos-dashboard

Example output:

NAME              TYPE       CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)          AGE
chaos-dashboard   NodePort   10.43.196.70   <none>        2333:31643/TCP   13m

Then visit http://<node-ip>:31643/ (use the port after the colon in PORT(S)).

On single-node setups where the node listens on the host (for example k3s), http://localhost:<node-port>/ may work. With kind, NodePorts are not published on localhost unless you created the cluster with matching extraPortMappings; prefer Option 1 (kubectl port-forward) for kind.
