Import Grafana GPG Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"install<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next we need to import Grafanas repository GPG key. First create a keyrings folder with the mkdir command. Then download the key with the wget command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo mkdir -p \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/\n\nwget -q -O - https:\/\/apt.grafana.com\/gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee \/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/grafana.gpg > \/dev\/null<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Add The Grafana Repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"add<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Now we will add the stable Grafana repository. Use the echo command to add it to your sources.list file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
echo \"deb [signed-by=\/etc\/apt\/keyrings\/grafana.gpg] https:\/\/apt.grafana.com stable main\" | sudo tee -a \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/grafana.list\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Update Ubuntu 22.04<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"update<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Afterwards we will use apt to update Ubuntu 22.04.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt update\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Start and Enable Grafana Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"enable<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Next we will start and enable the grafana-server package. Use the systemctl start and enable commands to complete this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl start grafana-server\n\nsudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Test Grafana Login<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"login<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Navigate to the login page of your new Grafana installation by navigating to http:\/\/SERVER-IPADDRESS:3000<\/strong> . Replace SERVER-IPADDRESS with the IP address of the server you installed Grafana onto. Then login using the default credentials below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Username: admin\nPassword: admin<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Start Using Grafana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"start<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Once you login you have successfully installed Grafana on Ubuntu 22.04. You can now create a dashboard and get started with Grafana. For more information on getting started see the Grafana Build Your First Dashboard<\/a> article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
