## Login to Grafana

<h4> 1. LOCATE THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD TO LOG IN TO GRAFANA </h4>

- On AWS, search for **EC2** and click on the first icon that pops up:

- Connect to the **Session Manager** so we can interact with the EC2 instance.  Finally, click on **Connect**:

- Once you connect to the instance, run the following script to get the username and password for Grafana. Please store these credentials somewhere. You’ll need them later:   

        grep admin_password /opt/bitnami/grafana/conf/grafana.ini


<h4> 2. INSTALL THE ROCKSET PLUGIN  </h4>
    
- Now we’ll edit the **[plugins]** section in the grafana.ini file. It’s important to note that this section is towards the bottom of the file. 
   
        sudo vim  /opt/bitnami/grafana/conf/grafana.ini
        
 - Scroll down to the **[plugins]** section. To edit the file, type i and type this below the **[plugins]** section (PLEASE, DO NOT COPY AND PASTE). Type:     

        allow_loading_unsigned_plugins = “rockset-backend-datasource” 
        
- To save the file, press the **escape** key and type: ```wq!```

- Install the Rockset plugin:

        sudo grafana-cli --pluginsDir /opt/bitnami/grafana/data/plugins --pluginUrl https://rockset-public.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rockset-backend-datasource-0.1.2.zip plugins install rockset-backend-datasource
  
- Run the following script to restart the server: 

         sudo systemctl restart bitnami 
         
- Open up the public IPv4 address with port 3000. MAKE SURE IT’S **HTTP**-.  i.e. http://xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/login

- It should pull up the homepage. Use the username and password you saved earlier:
