Configure Grafana Agent

Your intermediate agent, Grafana Agent stores exemplars by default. You can also use hosted Prometheus as your intermediate agent, but we recommend using Grafana Agent for a user-friendly workflow.

To configure Grafana Agent to send traces to Grafana Cloud:

  1. Confirm that exemplars are being scraped by the Agent by verifying that the prometheus_remote_storage_exemplars_total metric is a non-zero value.
  2. Add the option “send_exemplars: true” under the remote_write configuration block to forward those exemplars from the Agent to Grafana Cloud.
