i have added space intentionally in the urls due to the limitation. but in actual configuration, its not the case.

Issue was with default redirect url under [server] section in grafana config.ini

#################################### Server ####################################
[server]
#Protocol (http, https, h2, socket)
protocol = https

#The ip address to bind to, empty will bind to all interfaces
;http_addr =

#The http port to use
;http_port = 3000

#The public facing domain name used to access grafana from a browser
;domain = localhost
domain = wus2grfnadev03.linkedin.biz

#Redirect to correct domain if host header does not match domain
#Prevents DNS rebinding attacks
;enforce_domain = false

#The full public facing url you use in browser, used for redirects and emails
#If you use reverse proxy and sub path specify full url (with sub path)
;root_url = %(protocol)s://%(domain)s:%(http_port)s/

you have to change the domain from local host to the actual server name.
From:
;domain = localhost
To
domain = www.example.com
