grafana-server - Man Page

grafana-server is the back-end server for the Grafana metrics dashboard and graph editor. The grafana-server program should not normally be run from the command line, except when testing or for development purposes. Rather it should be managed by systemd. After installing Grafana, the systemd service should be enabled and started as follows:

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable grafana-server.service
systemctl start grafana-server.service

target

Target specific grafana services
