Adding a Grafana Dashboard to monitor your nodes
The Grafana backend has a number of configuration options defined in its config file (usually located at /etc/grafana/grafana.ini on linux systems). Grafana uses port 3000 as default, change it if needed and make sure to configure your firewall accordingly.
Edit grafana.ini For example:
sudo nano /etc/grafana/grafana.ini
Start Grafana-server with
sudo /bin/systemctl start grafana-server
On your local machine you can now go to a.b.c.d:3000
You will see this, default user and password are admin/admin.
