4.1 Install Grafana
Download Grafana from their official website:
Since this example is based on Ubuntu OS, I will perform my installation accordingly:
root@deploymentmachine:/home# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root@deploymentmachine:/home# apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1
root@deploymentmachine:/home# wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_7.3.7_amd64.deb
root@deploymentmachine:/home# dpkg -i grafana_7.3.7_amd64.deb
Start the Grafana service with SystemD
root@deploymentmachine:/home# systemctl daemon-reload
root@deploymentmachine:/home# systemctl enable grafana-server.service
root@deploymentmachine:/home# systemctl start grafana-server.service
Change the admin password...
root@deploymentmachine:/home# grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password Str0nkPasswd
INFO[02-02|10:12:23] Connecting to DB logger=sqlstore dbtype=sqlite3
INFO[02-02|10:12:23] Starting DB migrations logger=migrator
Admin password changed successfully ✔
root@deploymentmachine:/home#
... and make sure you can log in: http://<publicIP>:3000
4.2 Grafana and Prometheus
Once you logged in go to Configuration > Data Sources > Add Data Sources. And select Prometheus
Provide here the Public IP of the host where Prometheus is running, along with port 9000:
Time to create dashboards for monitoring :)
