We will need to add the Grafana repository. There are a few steps to adding a new repository that we will need to do before we actually start on the Graffana installation.
			=== Install the Grafana Repository===
			The first step is the well known
			sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
			Installed necessary dependencies for adding repositories:
			sudo apt install -y apt-transport-https software-properties-common wget
			Downloaded and added Grafana's GPG public key:
			wget -q -O - https://apt.grafana.com/gpg.key \| gpg --dearmor \| sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/grafana.gpg > /dev/null
			and finally add the stable Grafana repository to APT sources:
			echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grafana.gpg] https://apt.grafana.com stable main" \| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grafana.list
			we now do an APT update so with the new recognized the new repository:
			sudo apt update
			===Install Grafana===
			We can now install Grafana from the newly added repository :
			sudo apt install -y grafana
			With the Grafana application installed we can now start the service, have it start on boot and, of course, check the status
			sudo systemctl start grafana-server
			sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
			sudo systemctl status grafana-server
			The status should show the service as active and running.
			===Configure Gafanaa===
			The base install will have Grafana's webserver listening on port 3000. Unless that has been changed we should now use Lemon to http://granadilla:3000. The Login credentials are admin / admin. The first thing to do is to add the Prometheus sever as a data source, navigate to Connections -> Data Sources -> Add data source -> Prometheus. The URL should be the Ip address of Pinapple:9090 (exactly the same as the webserver) http://x.x.x.x:9090. to finish adding the data source the is a button at the bottom marked "save & test" If we have already set up VictoriaMetrics we can set that as a data source as well by following the exact same instructions as above except the URL will be Victoria's IP address and port 8428 with the /prometheus directory so it will be http://x.x.x.x:8428/prometheus. This works for VictoriaMetrics because it follows the same API as Prometheus.
			With the data sources added we can now add a few dashboards. Navigate to Dashboards -> New -> Import and in the "Find and import dashboards for common applications at grafana.com/dashboards" box enter 1860. 1860 is the Node_exporter dashboard other dashboards that are likely to be useful are
			* For MySQL use 7362
			* For Nginx use 12604
			* For Apache use 1869
			* For Windows use 11074
			* For ZFS use 7968
			* For SMART use 22604

			With the addition of the dashboards the install is complete. From her we will need to look at changing data sources and modifying that dashboards themselves but that is a much longer process and will need to read some of the documentation for Garafana and https://grafana.com/docs/ would be a good place to start.
