Setup Centralized Monitoring and Alerting Dashboard Using the dashboard we have created, We can check the resources used by the servers. Make sure the dashboard id’s are chose as per the version of the Node exporter installed, Else It won’t show up any data in the graphs. It will collect all the metrics from the Prometheus data source and plot the graph as per the metrics such as CPU usage, Disk usage, Memory usage etc. Give a name for the dashboard and then choose the data source as Prometheus. The id to import the Node exporter graph is 9096. In the left side, Hover to + icon and choose Import To setup a dashboard for the Node Exporter metrics. We can setup dashboard by ourselves from the scratch or we can import the existing dashboard from Grafana. Lets go ahead and setup dashboard and configure the alerting for the same. Now We have datasource and the alerting mechanism. Provide a name for the Notification Channel and then choose Type. Now Its time to setup alerting mechanism Setup Alerting in Grafanaįor the Grafana to alert to a specific channel or medium, We need to add / configure the same.Ĭhoose Alerting and then click Notification channelsĬlick Add channel, From the lists of available notification channels, Choose the one where you will be active. We have now integrated both the services. Now click Save and Test, It should response as Data source is working Grafana should be able to access port 9090 and it should be whitelisted in the Firewall.

Provide a name for the datasource, and then provide the ip address and the port in which Prometheus is Running.

Here we will asked to provide few information such as Prometheus URL. Grafana can query data from these datasource to plot the graphs.įor this tutorial, We are going to use Prometheus as the datasource.Ĭlick Add Data source and then choose Prometheus Under Configuration, You can add the datasources here. To integrate, Hover to Settings icon and choose Datasources To check the node exporters metrics which is alread stored in the prometheus server, We need to integrate prometheus with grafana. We have successfully implemented the Grafana Monitoring tool, The dashboard is as shown below.

Then it will ask us to set the new password for the admin user. The default username and the password to login to Grafana web interface is To open the dashboard, The url as follows, Note : If you’re hosting grafana in EC2 instance, Make sure port 3000 is whitelisted in the Security group. We have installed the grafana service, Now its time to access the Grafana web interface. netstat -nltp Accessing the Grafana Web Interface Grafana listens on the port 3000 by default, We can verify the same using below command. To check the status of the grafana, systemctl status grafana-serverĮnable the grafana service to start on the system boot. Lets start the grafana service using the below command. The file is stored as /usr/lib/systemd/system/rvice Once the grafana packages are installed.But default the systemd service will be created for the same.

#Grafana node exporter install#

apt-get install -y apt-transport-https apt-get install -y software-properties-common wget apt-get update apt-get install grafana -y Now we have to update the repository and install grafana packages. sudo add-apt-repository 'deb stable main' Make sure you have the root access to perform the below actions.Īdding the stable version of grafana to the repository.

Grafana also helps us to alert to several channels such as Email, Slack, Opsgenie, Webhook, Telegram etc. It can integrated with several other services such as Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Cloudwatch, Loki, InfluxDB, Graphite etc. Grafana is an open source monitoring tool with Dashboards and Visualizations.

In this guide ,We will see how to setup Grafana and intergrate prometheus as a datasource and setup a monitoring. Monitoring Linux nodes using Node Exporterįrom the above articles, We did a setup of Node exporter on the target Linux hosts and Prometheus scraps the metrics from the Node exporters.Īlso we have verified by checking the data of the target Linux hosts from the Prometheus web interface. In my previous blogs, I have explained in detail on How to
