Getting started with the Grafana LGTM Stack
We’ll demo how to get started using the LGTM Stack: Loki for logs, Grafana for visualization, Tempo for traces, and Mimir for metrics.
Download Grafana
wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_11.0.0_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_11.0.0_arm64.deb
tar -zxvf grafana-11.0.0.linux-arm64.tar.gz
sudo rpm -Uvh grafana-11.0.0-1.aarch64.rpm
Choose your Configuration Options
The Grafana backend has a number of configuration options defined in its config file (usually located at /etc/grafana/grafana.ini on linux systems).
In this config file you can change things like the default admin password, http port, grafana database (sqlite3, mysql, postgres), authentication options (google, github, ldap, auth proxy) along with many other options.
Start your grafana server. Login with your admin user (default admin/admin). Open side menu (click the Grafana icon in top menu) head to Data Sources and add your data source.
