The Web User Interface is accessible via a web browser from the local machine by entering https://localhost:6163/ (where 6163 is the default port for the SnareMSSQL web interface) or https://{computer-name}:{port-number}/ where computer name should be replaced with either the direct IP address of the machine or cluster to be controlled, or a name which resolves to that IP address. For example,

Contact the machine "SQLSERVER" on port 6163:
https://SQLSERVER:6163/

Contact the machine "10.1.2.345" on port 6163:
https://10.1.2.345:6163/

The Web User Interface is turned on by default. There are a number of menu items on the web UI. The menu displays:

a list of links that navigate to pages for configuration, viewing events, status, certificates and licensing
ability to restart the agent service so all changes to settings are made
a link to the Snare Knowledge Base
a link to the Snare user guide and other documentation
technical information such as the operating system and build identification of the agent, required when submitting an issue to Snare Support.

If you previously configured a password, you will need this to log in, along with the username snare.

Restart Service

If settings changes have been made made on individual pages, the following message will be displayed:

This will remind users that updates were made throughout the agent, however they have not been applied. The menu item also changes from Restart Service to Apply Configuration & Restart Service.

When Apply Configuration & Restart Service is selected, the configuration settings are applied. Please note, this option does not restart the Windows service, but instead performs all the operations as if the service had been restarted. The following message will be displayed in the agent to confirm that the settings were applied.

Authentication is required:

when navigating to the browser for the agent
in each instance when Restart Service / Apply Configuration & Restart Service is selected
after the browser is idle for 5 minutes
