L.7.6 Grafana and Prometheus launch
To easily configure and start the Grafana and Prometheus containers, use "docker-compose".
1 Open the PowerShell console with administrator rights in the "Monitoring" directory.
2 Start the services with
docker-compose up -d
3 Check whether both services have been started.
docker container ls
Two active containers are displayed.
4 Open "http://<monitoring-vm>:3000" in a web browser. <monitoring-vm> is the computer name or IP address of your Linux system.
5 Log in as an administrator.
Default user name is "admin", password is "admin". Grafana prompts you to set a new, secure password for the admin user after logging in.
Both containers are configured so that they are automatically restarted after a computer restart.
