Grafana & Prometheus Monitoring on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by ProvenCloud

Grafana on Azure, ready in minutes. Deploy the virtual machine, open its public IP address in a browser and you are ready to go. There is no installer to run and nothing to configure.

Grafana is an open source tool for dashboards and alerts, and Prometheus is an open source system for collecting metrics. Together they let you watch servers, applications and services: CPU, memory, disk, response times, error rates and any custom metric you send. This image gives DevOps and IT teams a working monitoring server in minutes, already wired together, so you can start building dashboards straight away.

Why teams choose this image

• Watch everything in one place: build dashboards and alerts for servers, applications and databases, and point Prometheus at more targets as you grow.
• No shared default password: every VM sets its own passwords from its own VM ID on first boot, so no two customers share a login.
• Up to date: every component is on its latest stable release and the image carries all Ubuntu 24.04 LTS security updates, with nothing pending.
• Supports Trusted Launch with Secure Boot and vTPM. No build-time SSH keys or shell history are left in the image.

What is included

• Grafana 13.3.0
• Prometheus 3.15.1, already set as the default data source
• Node Exporter 1.12 monitoring the VM itself
• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully patched

Getting started

Open http://<vm-public-ip>:3000/ and sign in as admin with your VM ID (Azure portal > the virtual machine > Properties > VM ID). Prometheus is at port 9090.

Ports opened for you: SSH 22 and 3000, 9090. For production, limit admin ports to your own IP address and add your domain with an SSL certificate. Step-by-step guide: provencloud.io/catalog/azure-grafana-prometheus-ubuntu-24-04
