Step 2 – Understand Grafana Installation details in RHEL\/CENTOS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n
Installs binary to \/usr\/sbin\/grafana-server\nCopies init.d script to \/etc\/init.d\/grafana-server\nInstalls binary to \/usr\/sbin\/grafana-server\nCopies init.d script to \/etc\/init.d\/grafana-server\nInstalls default<\/span> file (environment vars) to \/etc\/sysconfig\/grafana-server\nCopies configuration file to \/etc\/grafana\/grafana.ini\nInstalls systemd service (if<\/span> systemd is available) name grafana-server.service\nThe default<\/span> configuration uses a log file at \/var<\/span>\/log\/grafana\/grafana.log\nThe default<\/span> configuration specifies an sqlite3 database at \/var<\/span>\/lib\/grafana\/grafana.db<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> JavaScript<\/span> (<\/span>javascript<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Step 3 – Start the server (init.d service)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n
# Start the server with systemd - To start the service and verify that the service has started:<\/span>\n\n$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload\n$ sudo systemctl start grafana-server\n$ sudo systemctl status grafana-server\n\n# Configure the Grafana server to start at boot:<\/span>\n$ sudo systemctl enable grafana-server\n\n# Start the server with init.d - To start the service and verify that the service has started:<\/span>\n\n$ sudo service grafana-server start\n$ sudo service grafana-server status\n\n# Configure the Grafana server to start at boot:<\/span>\n$ sudo \/sbin\/chkconfig --add grafana-server<\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> PHP<\/span> (<\/span>php<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
This will start the grafana-server process as the grafana user, which is created during package installation. The default HTTP port is 3000, and default user and group is admin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4 – Configure the Grafana server to start at boot time<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n
$ sudo \/sbin\/chkconfig --add grafana-server\n$ sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service\n$ systemctl daemon-reload\n$ systemctl start grafana-server\n$ systemctl status grafana-server<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n
Step 5 – Grafana server Environment file<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The systemd service file and init.d script both use the file located at \/etc\/sysconfig\/grafana-server for environment variables used when starting the back-end. Here you can override log directory, data directory and other variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6 – Grafana server Log<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By default Grafana will log to \/var\/log\/grafana<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 7 – Grafana Database<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The default configuration specifies a sqlite3 database located at \/var\/lib\/grafana\/grafana.db. Please backup this database before upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also use MySQL or Postgres as the Grafana database, as detailed on
http:\/\/docs.grafana.org\/installation\/configuration\/#database<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 8 – Grafana configuration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The configuration file is located at \/etc\/grafana\/grafana.ini. Go the Configuration page for details on all those options. You can add following data sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Graphite<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. InfluxDB<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. OpenTSDB<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Prometheus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    Step 9 – Server side image rendering<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
    Server side image (png) rendering is a feature that is optional but very useful when sharing visualizations, for example in alert notifications.\n\n$ sudo yum install fontconfig -y\n$ sudo yum install freetype* -y\n$ sudo yum install urw-fonts -y<\/code><\/span><\/pre>\n\n\n
    Step 10 – Browse the dashboard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
