$sudo apt-get install influxdb
$sudo apt-get install grafana
​$vi /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

Save influxdb.conf and restart influxdb service
$sudo /etc/init.d/influxdb restart

Open web broswer and typing http://172.22.4.101:8083
We can check the db name openstdb as below screenshot

Check the netdata sending data

Add a user account / password for Grafana connection

Open web browser and typing http://172.22.4.101 login with default account and password: admin / admin

Then add Data Sources
 

New a Dashboards

Edit Metrics and select data source FROM 

Edit Axcs & Grids Change Left Y Unit to current unit

Finally , Ctrl + s for save setting
