Introduction:)

Explore our step-by-step guide to set up Grafana on AWS EC2 for seamless monitoring. From EC2 creation to Grafana configuration, we ensure a smooth deployment for enhanced system visibility and performance tracking.

Setup Grafana in your local environment on AWS EC2.

Step 1: Create an EC2 instance in the AWS Management Console.

• Launch an EC2 instance with the desired configuration in the AWS Management Console.

  

Step 2: Login to the server and install dependencies.

# Connect to the EC2 instance using SSH
ssh -i YourKeyPair.pem ec2-user@your-ec2-public-ip

# Install required dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common wget

Step 3: Download the key for Grafana setup.

# Download the key to /usr/share/keyrings/grafana.key
sudo wget -q -O /usr/share/keyrings/grafana.key https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key

Step 4: Install the stable version of Grafana.

# Add Grafana repository
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grafana.key] https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list

# Update the instance
sudo apt-get update

# Install Grafana
sudo apt-get install grafana

Step 5: Start and enable Grafana server.

# Start Grafana server
sudo systemctl start grafana-server

# Enable Grafana to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server

Step 6: Check the status of Grafana.

# Check status
sudo systemctl status grafana-server

Step 7: Open port 3000 on the EC2 instance.

• In the AWS Management Console, navigate to your EC2 instance's security group settings and add an inbound rule to allow traffic on port 3000.

  

Step 8: Access Grafana Web UI.

• Open a web browser and navigate to http://your-ec2-public-ip:3000.

  

Step 9: Login and Change Password.

• Log in with the default credentials (admin/admin) and change the password upon the first login.

  

  

Step 10: Congratulations!

• You have successfully set up Grafana on your AWS EC2 instance.

  

Conclusion:)

Congratulations on successfully installing Grafana on your AWS EC2 instance! Now equipped with powerful monitoring capabilities, visualize and analyze data effortlessly.

Happy monitoring!
