Are you trying to access the service that is live, or are you trying to set up your own copy?

I am trying to set up my own copy

Since it’s built as a suite of small services, you’ll need to set up instances of web-monitoring-db, web-monitoring-processing, and web-monioring-ui, then give them addresses to each other in their configuration so they can communicate (see the sample environment files in each project). Then you can start importing data by posting to the /api/v0/imports endpoint on web-monitoring-db.

Hopefully the ARCHITECTURE.md doc might give you a good sense of how the different pieces fit.

(Also, if you want to deploy with Kubernetes, you can take a look at how we have things set up in the web-monitoring-ops repo.)
