# Check Cluster Status

This document describes how to check the cluster status via [TiDB Dashboard](/dashboard/dashboard-intro.md) and Grafana, and how to log in to the TiDB database to perform simple DML and DDL operations and SQL queries.

## Check the TiDB cluster status

This section describes how to check the TiDB cluster status using [TiDB Dashboard](/dashboard/dashboard-intro.md) and Grafana.

### Use TiDB Dashboard

> **Warning:**
>
> TiDB Dashboard is still an experimental feature. It is **NOT** recommended that you use it in the production environment.

1. Log in to TiDB Dashboard at `${pd-ip}:${pd-port}/dashboard`. The username and password is the same as that of the TiDB `root` user. If you have modified the `root` password, enter the modified password. The password is empty by default.

2. The home page displays the node information in the TiDB cluster.

### Use Grafana

1. Log in to the Grafana monitoring at `${Grafana-ip}:3000`. The default username and password are both `admin`.

2. To check the TiDB port status and load monitoring information, click **Overview**.

## Log in to the database and perform simple operations

> **Note:**
>
> Install the MySQL client before you log in to the database.

Log in to the database by running the following command:
