How to Setup a Grafana Dashboard Step-by-Step | Grafana Tutorial for Beginners

In this video we show you how to install Grafana and create dashboards step-by-step.

Grafana is an open source platform that is used for data monitoring, analysis, and data visualization.

One of the major features of Grafana is it's ability to bring several different data sources together on a single dashboard.

Grafana allows you to represent data in different forms like, charts, graphs, and also allows you to send alerts.

Apart from that, it supports many OS's including Ubuntu and Windows. It also supports multiple data sources.

This video shows you how to download and install Grafana for Ubuntu 20.04.

- Below are the commands you can run in order to download and install Grafana for Ubuntu 20.04.

sudo apt update

sudo apt install grafana

sudo systemctl start grafana-server

sudo systemctl status grafana-server

sudo systemctl enable grafana-server

- Download and installation commands for influxDB for Ubuntu 20.04

source /etc/lsb-release

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install influxdb

sudo systemctl start influxdb

This video also shows you an example of how you can add data sources and attach them to Grafana.

- Below is the code which you can use for your python file.

import pandas as pd
from influxdb import InfluxDBClient

client= InfluxDBClient (host= "localhost",port=8086)

json_body=[{
"measurement": "CovidMap",
"tags": {"country":row[0]},
"fields": {
"name":row[0],
"country":row[1],
"latitude":row[2],
"longitude":row[3],
"metric":row[4],

}
}]
print("done")

When I chose the coordinates filed from Field Mapping property, the map didn't draw circles corresponding to each country. How can I do to display it?

Visualization shows nothing on the new version of Grafana

This turned into an InfluxDB tutorial with a little Grafana sprinkled in

Sorry, perhaps it's just me but I think your beginners tutorial is a bit too complicated. I was kind of expecting you to use a very simple database like Sql Server or MySql and use one of the built in plugins.

[KanagaveluSugumar]

You took more time explaining influx db and data preparation instead of Grafana :( What will i get looking at your python code?

[dhananjayadn]

You guys copied from edureka grafana tutorial? Or they copied yours? Both tutorial explain same and same resource they used.

[umerkha]

We can achieve all of this using Kibana as well, right? So what's the point of using Grafana then?

[alexanderbock]

This is complete outdated, influxdb switched to 2.x and things became more wired.
Clicking buttons is easy, but editing queries by hand which are not working from this query editor is another thing!
