Hi Mohit,
Which Linux distribution you are using?
Also, are you running grafana in a container environment e.g. Docker etc?
Hi @mohitkhandelwal,
Since you are using linux distribution that uses SystemD then you should be able to start service via systemd:
systemctl start grafana-server.service
Best regards,
