I am currently running Grafana version 4 on a server with RHEL 7.9. Due to the end-of-life status of RHEL 7.9, I need to upgrade the server to RHEL 8.10. After performing the OS upgrade, the Grafana service fails to start.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, I upgraded Grafana to the latest version 11 and repeated the steps, but the Grafana service still does not start. Can you help me the steps needs to be followed for base OS upgrade of grafana server?
