Package details
- Installs binary to
/usr/sbin/grafana-server - Copies init.d script to
/etc/init.d/grafana-server - Installs default file (environment vars) to
/etc/sysconfig/grafana-server - Copies configuration file to
/etc/grafana/grafana.ini - Installs systemd service (if systemd is available) name
grafana-server.service - The default configuration uses a log file at
/var/log/grafana/grafana.log - The default configuration specifies an sqlite3 database at
/var/lib/grafana/grafana.db
Start the server (init.d service)
You can start Grafana by running:
$ sudo service grafana-server start
This will start the grafana-server process as the grafana user,
which is created during package installation. The default HTTP port is
3000, and default user and group is admin.
To configure the Grafana server to start at boot time:
$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add grafana-server
Start the server (via systemd)
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start grafana-server
$ systemctl status grafana-server
Enable the systemd service to start at boot
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server.service
Environment file
The systemd service file and init.d script both use the file located at
/etc/sysconfig/grafana-server for environment variables used when
starting the back-end. Here you can override log directory, data
directory and other variables.
Logging
By default Grafana will log to /var/log/grafana
Database
The default configuration specifies a sqlite3 database located at
/var/lib/grafana/grafana.db. Please backup this database before
upgrades. You can also use MySQL or Postgres as the Grafana database, as detailed on the configuration page.
Configuration
The configuration file is located at /etc/grafana/grafana.ini. Go the
Configuration page for details on all
those options.
