# Build your first dashboard
|
|
|
|
This topic helps you get started with Grafana and build your first dashboard. To learn more about Grafana, refer to [What is Grafana?]({{< relref "_index.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Grafana also offers a [free account with Grafana Cloud](https://grafana.com/signup/cloud/connect-account?pg=gsdocs) to help getting started even easier and faster. You can install Grafana to self-host or get a free Grafana Cloud account.
|
|
|
|
#### Install Grafana
|
|
|
|
Grafana can be installed on many different operating systems. For a list of the minimum hardware and software requirements, as well as instructions on installing Grafana, refer to [Install Grafana]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/installation/" >}}).
|
|
|
|
#### Sign in to Grafana
|
|
|
|
To sign in to Grafana for the first time:
|
|
|
|
1. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/.
|
|
|
|
The default HTTP port that Grafana listens to is `3000` unless you have configured a different port.
|
|
|
|
1. On the sign-in page, enter `admin` for the username and password.
|
|
1. Click **Sign in**.
|
|
|
|
If successful, you will see a prompt to change the password.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **OK** on the prompt and change your password.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** We strongly recommend that you change the default administrator password.
|
|
|
|
#### Create a dashboard
|
|
|
|
To create your first dashboard:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **New dashboard** item under the **Dashboards** icon in the side menu.
|
|
1. On the dashboard, click **Add an empty panel**.
|
|
1. In the New dashboard/Edit panel view, go to the **Query** tab.
|
|
1. Configure your [query]({{< relref "../panels-visualizations/query-transform-data/#add-a-query" >}}) by selecting `-- Grafana --` from the data source selector.
|
|
|
|
This generates the Random Walk dashboard.
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **Save** icon in the top right corner of your screen to save the dashboard.
|
|
1. Add a descriptive name, and then click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations, you have created your first dashboard and it is displaying results.
|
|
|
|
