# Grafana

**Grafana** (<https://grafana.com/>) is an open-source platform for analytics and monitoring.   Using multiple dats sources (like Prometheus), Grafana allows us to visualize metrics.  Their official repository is located [here](https://github.com/grafana/grafana) although we download our Grafana from the Ubuntu APT repositories.

Our CSL Grafana is located at <https://grafana.tjhsst.edu/> (only on the CSL network). &#x20;

## Installation

It is as simple as a

```bash
apt update && apt install grafana
```
