Grafana is an open source analytics and monitoring solution with a focus on accessibility for metric visualization. You can use Grafana to create, monitor, store, and share metrics with your team to keep tabs on your infrastructure. Grafana is very lightweight and does not use a lot of memory and CPU resources.

Deploying the Grafana Marketplace App

The Linode Marketplace allows you to easily deploy software on a Linode using the Linode Cloud Manager.

  1. Log in to the Cloud Manager and select the Marketplace link from the left navigation menu. This displays the Linode Compute Create page with the Marketplace tab pre-selected.

  2. Under the Select App section, select the app you would like to deploy.

  3. Fill out all required Options for the selected app as well as any desired Advanced Options (which are optional). See the Configuration Options section for details.

  4. Complete the rest of the form as discussed within the Getting Started > Create a Linode.

  5. Click the Create Linode button. Once the Linode has provisioned and has fully powered on, wait for the software installation to complete. If the Linode is powered off or restarted before this time, the software installation will likely fail. To determine if the installation has completed, open the Linode’s Lish console and wait for the system login prompt to appear.

  6. Follow the instructions within the Getting Started After Deployment section.

Software installation should complete within 2-5 minutes after the Linode has finished provisioning.

Configuration Options

Grafana Options

Here are the additional options available for this Marketplace App:

  • Grafana Password (required): Set your Grafana instance’s admin password. You will use this password when first logging into Grafana.

General Options

For advice on filling out the remaining options on the Create a Linode form, see Getting Started > Create a Linode. That said, some options may be limited or recommended based on this Marketplace App:

  • Supported distributions: Debian 9
  • Recommended minimum plan: All plan types and sizes can be used.

Getting Started after Deployment

Access Your Grafana Client

Now that your Grafana Marketplace App is deployed, you can log into Grafana to access all of its monitoring and visualization features.

  1. Open a browser and navigate to your Linode’s IP address and port 3000, for example, http://192.0.2.0:3000/. By default, Grafana will listen to port 3000.

    Note
    The Grafana Marketplace App will install and enable the UFW firewall allowing TCP traffic on port 3000.
  2. Viewing Grafana’s log in page, enter in admin as the username and the Grafana password you set in the Grafana Options section of the Cloud Manager, as the password. Click on the Log In button.

  3. Once you are logged into Grafana, complete your configurations by adding a data source, creating dashboards, and adding users.

Note
Currently, Linode does not manage software and systems updates for Marketplace Apps. It is up to the user to perform routine maintenance on software deployed in this fashion.
