📉How to install grafana on linux and how to setup with prometheus (whole setup).🚀

Grafana, paired with Prometheus and Node Exporter, is a powerful monitoring stack for system and application metrics. Prometheus collects metrics from Node Exporter, which provides system stats like CPU, memory, and disk usage. Grafana connects to Prometheus as a data source, offering a user-friendly interface to visualize and analyze these metrics.

This setup is ideal for real-time monitoring, performance analysis, and troubleshooting. With customizable dashboards and alerting capabilities, it helps ensure system reliability and efficiency, making it a go-to solution for DevOps and IT teams.
