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:
- Extract the staged Grafana tarball in
/opt/pkgs. - Find its server binary (usually inside a
bin/directory of the extracted archive) and start it with the correct home path. - Confirm the real login page responds on
:3000(default credentials areadmin/admin).
Commands to learn: tar, running a background process with --homepath, curl.
Run check when done.
