Grafana Setup

Grafana Setup

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.
