Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases (#60062) 
* Use relative aliases for all non-current Grafana aliases

Prevents non-latest documentation "stealing" the page away from latest
and through permanent redirects for latest pages that no longer exist.

The redirected pages are indexed by search engines but our robots.txt
forbids them crawling the non-latest page.

Learn how to get started with Grafana by adding a preconfigured dashboard. Build your first dashboard 200

Build your first dashboard

This topic helps you get started with Grafana and build your first dashboard. To learn more about Grafana, refer to [What is Grafana?]({{< relref "_index.md" >}}).

Note: Grafana also offers a free account with Grafana Cloud to help getting started even easier and faster. You can install Grafana to self-host or get a free Grafana Cloud account.

Install Grafana

Grafana can be installed on many different operating systems. For a list of the minimum hardware and software requirements, as well as instructions on installing Grafana, refer to [Install Grafana]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/installation/" >}}).

Sign in to Grafana

To sign in to Grafana for the first time:

  1. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/.

    The default HTTP port that Grafana listens to is 3000 unless you have configured a different port.

  2. On the sign-in page, enter admin for the username and password.

  3. Click Sign in.

    If successful, you will see a prompt to change the password.

  4. Click OK on the prompt and change your password.

Note: We strongly recommend that you change the default administrator password.

Create a dashboard

To create your first dashboard:

  1. Click the New dashboard item under the Dashboards icon in the side menu.

  2. On the dashboard, click Add an empty panel.

  3. In the New dashboard/Edit panel view, go to the Query tab.

  4. Configure your [query]({{< relref "../panels-visualizations/query-transform-data/#add-a-query" >}}) by selecting -- Grafana -- from the data source selector.

    This generates the Random Walk dashboard.

  5. Click the Save icon in the top right corner of your screen to save the dashboard.

  6. Add a descriptive name, and then click Save.

Congratulations, you have created your first dashboard and it is displaying results.
