Grafana is an open source tool for data visualization and monitoring. It allows you to create dashboards with a variety of data sources, such as Graphite, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch. In this tutorial, we will be installing Grafana on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we begin, let's update the system to the latest version using the following command:
sudo dnf update -y
To install Grafana on Fedora Server Latest, follow the steps below:
sudo dnf install curl -y
sudo dnf install https://packages.grafana.com/oss/rpm/grafana-repo-latest.noarch.rpm -y
sudo dnf install grafana -y
Now that Grafana is installed, let's start the Grafana server using the following command:
sudo systemctl start grafana-server
To make sure the Grafana server is running, you can use the following command:
sudo systemctl status grafana-server
If the server is running correctly, you should see the following output:
● grafana-server.service - Grafana instance
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/grafana-server.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2021-07-30 15:45:39 CDT; 4s ago
Docs: http://docs.grafana.org
Main PID: 19264 (grafana-server)
Tasks: 8 (limit: 27572)
Memory: 88.6M
CGroup: /system.slice/grafana-server.service
└─19264 /usr/sbin/grafana-server --config=/etc/grafana/grafana.ini --pidfile=/var/run/grafana/grafana-server.pid cfg:serv>
If you have a firewall enabled on your system, you need to allow traffic on port 3000, which is the default port for Grafana. To do this, run the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3000/tcp
Reload the firewall rules with the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Now that we have Grafana running and the firewall rules are in place, we can access the Grafana web interface. Open your favorite browser and navigate to http://
Use the default username (admin) and password (admin). You will be prompted to change the password on first login.
Once you have changed the password, you will be taken to the Grafana home page. From there, you can start creating your own dashboards and visualizations.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Grafana on Fedora Server Latest.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Grafana on Fedora Server Latest. We have also seen how to start the Grafana server, configure firewall rules, and access the Grafana web interface. Happy dashboarding!
