# Getting started with Grafana
|
|
|
|
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" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Install Grafana
|
|
|
|
Grafana can be installed on many different operating systems. For a list of minimum hardware and software requirements, as well as instructions on installing Grafana, refer to [Install Grafana]({{< relref "../installation/_index.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Log in
|
|
|
|
To log 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 login page, enter `admin` for username and password.
|
|
1. Click **Log In**. If login is successful, then you will see a prompt to change the password.
|
|
1. Click **OK** on the prompt, then change your password.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** We strongly recommend that you follow Grafana's best practices and change the default administrator password. Don't forget to record your credentials!
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Create a dashboard
|
|
|
|
To create your first dashboard:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the **+** icon on the left panel, select **Create Dashboard**, and then click **Add new panel**.
|
|
1. In the New Dashbard/Edit Panel view, go to the **Query** tab.
|
|
1. Configure your [query]({{< relref "../panels/queries.md" >}}) by selecting ``-- Grafana --`` from the [data source selector]({{< relref "../panels/queries.md/#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.
|
|
|
|
