Getting ready
We must prepare by obtaining a copy of the latest Grafana package as distributed by Grafana Labs. At the time of this edition, the latest version is 6.6.2, released on February, 2020. Download the latest copy from https://grafana.com/grafana/download.
This page also contains instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, and CentOS operating systems, which essentially recommends using apt or yum to install.
We also recommend following the instructions in the Installing and configuring Telegraf, Adding a custom PostgreSQL monitor to Telegraf, and Installing and configuring InfluxDB recipes so that there is a fully functional Telegraf and InfluxDB combination complete with fresh activity data from at least one PostgreSQL server.
