Grafana As a service Amazon_Linux 2

Hello,
I am trying to run Grafan as a service, the following is my configuration:
$ cd /etc/systemd/system/
$ touch grafana.service
Then add the following line

[Unit]

Description=grafana

[Service]

ExecStart=/home/ec2-user/grafana-8.2.3/bin/grafana-server

[Install]

WantedBy=default.target

Note: I am using Amazon Linux 2 as OS.

In the previous config, I used it to run Prometheus as a service, but it doesn’t work as I don’t have a (config.yml) file.

what linux are you using? Have you considered installing using a package manager like apt or yum? That would automatically add to systemd

I did solve it,
By adding the path of the default file of Grafana.
