Prometheus, Node Exporter & Grafana Setup on Linux | Complete Monitoring Stack with systemd
In this video, I’ll show you how to set up a complete monitoring stack with Prometheus, Node Exporter, and Grafana on Linux. We’ll make each component run as a systemd service, so they auto-start after reboot and stay resilient.
What you’ll learn:
Install and configure Prometheus on Linux
Deploy Node Exporter to expose system metrics
Connect Prometheus with Node Exporter
Install and configure Grafana
Add Prometheus as a data source in Grafana
Import community dashboards for visualization
This setup is perfect for anyone looking to monitor CPU, memory, disk, and network usage on Linux servers. These monitoring tools are widely used in DevOps, Cloud, and Kubernetes environments.
