Description of problem:

With bug 1980315 fixed, hosted-engine deployment configures grafana by default. So the section "Configuring Grafana" in the admin guide can be edited to remove the manual procedure.

Sorry, please take this back. It's true for new setups, but not for upgrades from 4.3 or for restore-from-backup, under certain conditions. So I think we should keep most of the text, including the actual procedure, but say something like:

===============================================================
Grafana integration is usually enabled and installed by default for new setups, both Stand Alone and Self-Hosted ones. It might not be, when upgrading from a previous version or restoring from a backup. One reason for this is if Data Warehouse was migrated to a separate machine.

To enable Grafana integration:
===============================================================

And perhaps add to step 2, something like:

"Log in to the machine where you want to install Grafana. This should be the machine where Data Warehouse is configured, usually the Manager machine."
