Grafana Over https

If you require extra security, the option to use Grafana over https is available. However, you require a certificate which is not provided. When you have your certificate in place, take the following steps:

1. Go to the directory MZ_HOME/scripts/str-templates/system-insight, and open the grafanai.ini file.
    

2. In the Server section, modify the text as follows and save:
    Change this line:
   

   ;protocol = http

   to the following: 

   protocol = https

   Change these lines:

   # https certs & key file
   ;cert_file =
   ;cert_key =

   to the following: 

   # https certs & key file
   cert_file = /path/to/file/server.crt
   cert_key = /parth/to/file/server.key

3. Restart the grafana service.
   Go to https://<your grafana installation url>:3000/ and verify that https is working.
