Description

I am learning by following the refguide page Monitoring Solr with Prometheus and Grafana, and it needs some updates based on my learning from a pretty novice level about Prometheus and Grafana! There are some incorrect ports in the example commands, and or some paths that need updating that tripped me up, and some transitions between sections would help onboard the next person.

For example, it a LONG time to figure out that I needed to run a Prometheus server as well as grafana as well as the exporter process
