Getting started with Grafana

https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/v7.5/getting-started/getting-started/

Step 1: Install Grafana

Grafana can be installed on many different operating systems. For a list of the minimum hardware and software requirements, as well as instructions on installing Grafana, refer to Install Grafana.

Ubuntu and Debian(64 Bit)SHA256: b14ec169e8df483eabcef47a84314e4ed904f4e1b0a4f0e260ac7f3ab0f6bbfb

sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1

wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_8.1.2_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i grafana_8.1.2_amd64.deb

Read the Ubuntu / Debian installation guide for more information. We also provide an APT package repository.

Step 2: Log in

To log in to Grafana for the first time:

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/. The default HTTP port that Grafana listens to is 3000 unless you have configured a different port.

On the login page, enter admin for username and password.

Click Log In. If login is successful, then you will see a prompt to change the password.

Click OK on the prompt, then change your password.

Note: We strongly recommend that you follow Grafana’s best practices and change the default administrator password. Don’t forget to record your credentials!

Step 3: Create a dashboard

To create your first dashboard:

Click the + icon on the left panel, select Create Dashboard, and then click Add an empty panel.

In the New Dashboard/Edit Panel view, go to the Query tab.

Configure your query by selecting -- Grafana -- from the data source selector. This generates the Random Walk dashboard.

Click the Save icon in the top right corner of your screen to save the dashboard.

Add a descriptive name, and then click Save.

Congratulations, you have created your first dashboard and it is displaying results.
