sudo chown prometheus:prometheus /usr/local/bin/promtool

    Copy prometheus config files to directory we have created and give permission.
     
    sudo cp -r prometheus-files/consoles /etc/prometheus

Logging Stack Component: Central Log server Multiple logging client server/Any apache web server generating logs Rsyslog: we setup with rsyslog v8-stable. You can use any rsyslog  version after rsyslog-6, because we encountered rsyslog drop message in earlier version.

Now Let's Start we gonna break these tutorial in two pa...
