Work with your resources
gcx lets you manage resources across Grafana and Grafana Cloud, from dashboards and alert rules to SLOs, on-call schedules, and synthetic checks.
You can work with resources in two ways:
- Declarative resource workflows: Manage resources as JSON or YAML files with a single set of commands.
- Product-specific commands: Use dedicated commands for each Grafana area or Grafana Cloud product.
You can also query your telemetry, such as metrics, logs, traces, and profiles, from the command line.
Declarative resource workflows
Use gcx resources to pull, push, inspect, edit, validate, and delete resources as JSON or YAML manifests. The same commands work for Grafana-native resources, such as dashboards, folders, alertrules, routingtrees, templategroups, and timeintervals, and for supported Grafana Cloud provider resources.
To find out which resource types your instance serves, run gcx resources list-types. To view example manifests, run gcx resources list-examples.
For step-by-step workflows, refer to Resource management workflows.
Product-specific commands
Each Grafana area and Grafana Cloud product also has its own commands to create, inspect, update, and operate its resources. Areas that also list gcx resources in the table support both ways of working.
The following table lists the main Grafana areas and Grafana Cloud products you can manage with gcx. For the complete list of commands, refer to the CLI reference or run the command with --help.
Query telemetry
Use the signal commands to query your data sources directly from the command line:
To investigate an empty dashboard or missing application telemetry, refer to Diagnose missing telemetry.
