Install Grafana From Scratch

Grafana's tarball is staged too. Extract it, install it, start the real server, and reach its login page on :3000.

A beginner Prometheus & Grafana challenge worth 3 points. Solve it hands-on in a real Prometheus & Grafana environment in your browser - no local setup, no fake shells.

The Challenge

Scenario: Prometheus is collecting metrics, but there's still nowhere to look at them - Grafana was never installed either. Its tarball is staged next to Prometheus's in /opt/pkgs.

Your tasks:

  1. Extract the staged Grafana tarball in /opt/pkgs.
  2. Find its server binary (usually inside a bin/ directory of the extracted archive) and start it with the correct home path.
  3. Confirm the real login page responds on :3000 (default credentials are admin/admin).

Commands to learn: tar, running a background process with --homepath, curl.

Run check when done.
