Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager dashboards can be accessed quickly using `kubectl port-forward` after running the quickstart via the commands below. Kubernetes 1.10 or later is required.

## Prometheus

```shell
$ kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/prometheus-k8s 9090
```

Then access via [http://localhost:9090](http://localhost:9090)

## Grafana

```shell
$ kubectl --namespace monitoring port-forward svc/grafana 3000
```

Then access via [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) and use the default grafana user:password of `admin:admin`.
