+Note: make sure to have openshift prometheus deployed.
+(https://github.com/openshift/origin/tree/master/examples/prometheus)
+
+1. ```oc create namespace grafana```
+2. ```oc new-app -f grafana-ocp.yaml```
+3. grab the grafana url ``` oc get route |awk 'NR==2 {print $2}' ```
+4. grab the ocp token, from openshift master run: ```oc sa get-token prometheus -n kube-system```
+5. browse to grafana datasource's and add new prometheus datasource. 
+6. grab the prometheus url via ```oc get route -n kube-system prometheus |awk 'NR==2 {print $2}'``` and paste the prometheus url e.g https://prometheus-kube-system.apps.example.com
+7. paste the token string at the token field.
+8. checkout the TLS checkbox.
+9. save & test and make sure all green.
+
