# How do I log in to Zabbix?

https://www.seturack.com/en/knowledgebase/article/how-to-log-in-to-zabbix

1. In the panel, open **My servers** and click your server.
2. On the **Overview** tab, wait for the **App** row to say "Zabbix is ready". The first Zabbix start can take a little longer. The page refreshes itself.
3. Click **Open app**.
4. Enter the details from the **Login** and **Password** rows. The login is `Admin`, with a capital A. There is no setup wizard.
5. Install the Zabbix Agent on the server to monitor, add it under **Data collection > Hosts** and enter its address. The server connects to the agent on port 10050.

Further down the page, the **Username** row and the **Password** row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to Zabbix.

## Good to know

- The host named "Zabbix server" monitors itself. The Zabbix server port (10051) is closed to the outside, so agents run in passive mode.
- For email alerts, set up an SMTP server under **Alerts > Media types**. The interface is in English.
- The site opens over HTTPS on a free `sslip.io` address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over `http://` instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

**No server yet?** [Order a server with Zabbix installed](https://www.seturack.com/en/zabbix-vps): you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
