Here is the step-by-step guide to installing the Grafana on an EC2 Instance -
Step 1: Change to Root user: sudo su
Step 2: The installation is via yum repository. Create a grafana.repo under /etc/yum.repos.d/ vi grafana.repo
Step 3: Put below content in grafana.repo and save it.
[grafana]
name=grafana
baseurl=packages.grafa...
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=packages.grafa...

sslcacert=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Step 4: Once done with the above steps. It's time to install grafana now. sudo yum -y install grafana
Step 5: Start the server -

systemctl status grafana-server
That's it. Your installation is completed. Please access it using server-ip:3000

Can i Monitor all the Ec2 instances running in that account with single configuration and i need metrics of EC2 like instance type, CPU Usage, Disk Usage and Memory Usage.

[@splunkjourneywithsumit]

Yes, you can monitor all EC2 instances running in any AWS account with a single configuration in Grafana by leveraging AWS CloudWatch as your data source.
