Go to the AWS console and launch an EC2 instance.

Open the Port No 3000 in your EC2 instance with the help of Security groups to allow the External access to Grafana.

Once the instance is launched you can SSH into the Instance.

Then, follow the instruction provided by Grafana to install it on your systems;

Download the GPG keys and add them to the trusted keys list.

wget -q -O - https://packages.grafana.com/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add        

Now add it to the Grafana Repository.

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://packages.grafana.com/oss/deb stable main"        

Once it has been added, we need to update the System.

sudo apt update        

Install the Grafana Using Commands

sudo apt install grafana        

Start Grafana. After Grafana is installed, you can start it by running the following command.

sudo systemctl start grafana-server        

You can also configure Grafana to start the automatically on boot by running:

sudo systemctl enable grafana-server        

Check the status of Grafana by running the following commands:

sudo systemctl status grafana-server        

Access Grafana: Finally you can access the Grafana web interface by navigating to the IP Address or domain name of your EC2 instance in your web browser, followed by the default Grafana port (3000).

For Example: http://<Ec2-instance-IP-address>:3000

You should now be able to log in to Grafana using the default credentials (admin/admin) and start creating your 1st Dashboards.
