The Couchbase Administrative Console uses many of the same REST API endpoints you would use for a REST API request. This is especially for administrative tasks such as creating a new bucket, adding a node to a cluster, or changing cluster settings.

For a list of supported browsers, see System Requirements. For the Couchbase Web Console, a separate UI hierarchy is served from each node of the system (though asking for the root "/" would likely return a redirect to the user agent). To launch the Couchbase Web Console, point your browser to the appropriate host and port, for instance on your development machine: http://localhost:8091

The operation and interface for the console is described in Chapter 6, Using the Web Console. For most of the administrative operations described in this chapter for the REST-API, you can perform the functional equivalent in Couchbase Web Console.
