Setting up Grafana in your local environment on AWS EC2

• Launch an EC2 instance:

• Connect to your EC2 instance through SSH

• Update your package list

sudo apt-get update

• Install software-properties-common

sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common

• Download the GPG keys and add them to the trusted keys list.

wget -q -O - https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add

• Add it to the Grafana repository.

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main"

• Then, update and install grafana

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grafana

• After installation, enable and start grafana

sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
sudo systemctl start grafana-server

• Check whether grafana is running

sudo systemctl status grafana-server

• Configure your security group to allow the inbound rule on port 3000 to access Grafana directly.

• Navigate to the public url of the EC2 instance, "public URL:3000"

The default login credentials are admin for both the username and password. Upon first login, you will be prompted to change the password.

Thank you.
