## 7.6.4 Installation of Grafana 

You can install Grafana by using the image ibmcom/grafana:5.2.0-f3  available on Docker Hub. 

Because Grafana stores several types of configuration data, consider using persistent storage to run the container. To achieve this, you create a Docker volume by using the following command: 

docker volume create grafana-data 

Mount this volume through the following run command for Grafana: 

docker run --name grafana -d -p 3000:3000 -v grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana ibmcom/grafana:5.2.0-f3 

To verify that Grafana is up and running, connect your browser to the zCX address on port 3000. If you used the default setup, you can log on with userid “admin“ and password “admin“. Grafana prompts you to change the password.
