title: Unable To Access Prometheus Dashboard/ Port Forwarding Doesn't Work
body: <p>I'm creating a K8 cluster and I want to display the cluster information in Grafana using Prometheus (as usual). I've followed various documentation that has been already posted, but nothing seems to fix the problem.</p>
  <p>Prometheus dashboard doesn't load, I'm doing this in an AWS environment. Please find the steps that I'm using.</p>
  <ol>
  <li>helm install stable prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack --namespace prometheus - SUCCESSFUL</li>
  <li>kubectl edit svc stable-kube-prometheus-sta-prometheus -n prometheus - change to NodePort</li>
  <li>kubectl edit svc stable-grafana -n prometheus - change to NodePort</li>
  <li>kubectl port-forward -n monitoring svc/grafana 8000:80</li>
  </ol>
  <p>I was able to do the port-forwarding once to the Grafana (first attempt). However, after deleting that deployment due to some complications, i proceeded with the above deployment again.<br/>
  When it comes to the port-forwarding, i'm not getting the following response</p>
  <pre><code>Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -&gt; 8080
  Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -&gt; 8080
  </code></pre>
  <p>Infact I'm not getting anything. Is this port is already in use ? What am I doing wrong ? Please help.</p>
