Install and Configure Grafana in Ubuntu and Debian<\/p>\n

Step 1 – Download & Install Grafana<\/strong>
\nDownload Grafana RPM file RPM for Linux from https:\/\/grafana.com\/grafana\/download?platform=linux<\/p>\n

# Ubuntu & Debian\n$ wget https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/grafana-releases\/release\/grafana_5.2.2_amd64.deb\n$ sudo dpkg -i grafana_5.2.2_amd64.deb<\/pre>\n
Step 2 – Understand Grafana Installation details in Ubuntu\/Debian<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Installs binary to \/usr\/sbin\/grafana-server<\/li>\n
  2. Installs Init.d script to \/etc\/init.d\/grafana-server<\/li>\n
  3. Creates default file (environment vars) to \/etc\/default\/grafana-server<\/li>\n
  4. Installs configuration file to \/etc\/grafana\/grafana.ini<\/li>\n
  5. Installs systemd service (if systemd is available) name grafana-server.service<\/li>\n
  6. The default configuration sets the log file at \/var\/log\/grafana\/grafana.log<\/li>\n
  7. The default configuration specifies an sqlite3 db at \/var\/lib\/grafana\/grafana.db<\/li>\n
  8. Installs HTML\/JS\/CSS and other Grafana files at \/usr\/share\/grafana<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Step 3 – Start the server (init.d service)<\/strong><\/p>\n
    [code]$ sudo service grafana-server start[\/code]<\/p>\n
    This will start the grafana-server process as the grafana user, which was created during the package installation. The default HTTP port is 3000 and default user and group is admin.<\/p>\n
    Step 4 – Configure the Grafana server to start at boot time<\/strong><\/p>\n
    [code]$ sudo update-rc.d grafana-server defaults
    \n$ systemctl daemon-reload
    \n$ systemctl start grafana-server
    \n$ systemctl status grafana-server
    \n$ sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service[\/code]<\/p>\n
    Step 5 – Grafana server Environment file<\/strong>
    \nThe systemd service file and init.d script both use the file located at \/etc\/default\/grafana-server for environment variables used when starting the back-end. Here you can override log directory, data directory and other variables.<\/p>\n
    Step 6 – Grafana server Log<\/strong>
    \nBy default Grafana will log to \/var\/log\/grafana<\/p>\n
    Step 7 – Grafana Database<\/strong>
    \nThe default configuration specifies a sqlite3 database located at \/var\/lib\/grafana\/grafana.db.<\/p>\n
    You can also use MySQL or Postgres as the Grafana database, as detailed on
    \nhttp:\/\/docs.grafana.org\/installation\/configuration\/#database<\/p>\n
    Step 7 – Grafana configuration<\/strong>
    \nThe 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
    1. Graphite<\/li>\n
    2. InfluxDB<\/li>\n
    3. OpenTSDB<\/li>\n
    4. Prometheus<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Step 8 – Server side image rendering<\/strong>
      \nServer side image (png) rendering is a feature that is optional but very useful when sharing visualizations, for example in alert notifications.<\/p>\n
      [code]$ yum install fontconfig
      \n$ yum install freetype*
      \n$ yum install urw-fonts[\/code]<\/p>\n
      Step 9 – How to access the Grafana dashboard<\/strong><\/p>\n
