The Enterprise Dashboard is the web-based interface to the Service Manager so the procedure for starting the dashboard is identical for all platforms. From the dashboard you can configure the settings necessary for receiving updates from MySQL Enterprise and for the initial installation of the Advisors.
If you installed the Service Manager using a graphical interface, you have the option of launching the dashboard on the final installation screen (as long as the Launch MySQL Enterprise Monitor Now checkbox is checked).
      Otherwise, you can view the dashboard by typing
      http://localhost:
      into the address bar of your web browser. If you are unsure of the
      host name and port to use, check the
      18080/Auth.actionconfiguration_report.txt file.
    
      Under Windows it is also possible to open the dashboard by
      choosing the MySQL menu item and finding the
      MySQL Enterprise Monitor entry. Under this entry choose
      Start Service Manager.
