Ambari Metrics link (grafana) not available on HDP 2.5 sandbox

[#1]

The link is unavailable on hdp 2.5 sandbox. Any ideas why? What port is the dashboard available on so I can hit the url directly instead of going from ambari... Possible?

Grafana is not yet installed on HDP2.5 technical preview. It will be installed and tested very soon. @rmolina, please check out this.

You can enable Grafana on the Tech Preview with these steps..

Execute the first 2 steps inside SSH Web Client (http://127.0.0.1:4200). you will need to replace "admin:admin" with the username:password you chose and then replace "ambari.server" with 127.0.0.1 (or whichever host you've installed it on) and "cluster.name" with the name of the cluster "Sandbox" by default (case-sensitive). "host.name" for step#2 would most likely be "sandbox.hortonworks.com" unless you have changed it.

1. Add the METRICS_GRAFANA component to Ambari:

   curl -u admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By:ambari" -i -X POST
   http://ambari.server:8080/api/v1/clusters/cluster.name/services/AMBARI_METRICS/components/METRICS_GR...
   	

2. Add METRICS_GRAFANA to a host in the cluster.

   curl -u admin:admin -H "X-Requested-By:ambari" -i -X POST -d
   '{"host_components":[{"HostRoles":{"component_name":"METRICS_GRAFANA"}}]}'
   http://ambari.server:8080/api/v1/clusters/cluster.name/hosts?Hosts/host_name=host.name
   	

3. From Ambari Web, browse to Services > Ambari Metrics and you will see Grafana is in the Install Pending… state. You need to complete the configuration of Grafana before installing and starting.
4. To complete the configuration, click on Services > Ambari Metrics > Configs and you will need to enter the default Grafana Admin Password in the General section. Click Save.
5. Browse to Hosts > host.name (i.e. the host.name used in the API call where you added Grafana). You will see the Grafana component is in an Install Pending… state. Use the Install Pending… action button and select Re-install.
6. Once the install operation completes, select Start to start Grafana.
7. To access Grafana, browse to Services > Ambari Metrics, select Quick Links and then choose Grafana.
8. In VirtualBox, right click on your Sandbox VM > Settings > Network > Adapter 1 > Advanced > Port Forwarding

   Add the following 2 ports to be forwarded(top right icon with a + in it)

   name: grafana, protocol: TCP, HOST IP : 127.0.0.1, HOST Port: 3000, Guest Port: 3000
   name: collector, protocol: TCP, HOST IP: 127.0.0.1, HOST Port: 6188, Guest Port: 6188	

You should be able to access Grafana directly from http://127.0.0.1:3000/ now.

I meet this question after upgrading from 2.3 to 2.5, then now it's solved by this workarround.
