# Beyla integration for Grafana Cloud

Grafana Beyla is an eBPF-based application auto-instrumentation tool to easily get started with Application Observability. Beyla uses eBPF to automatically inspect application executables and the OS networking layer, and capture trace spans related to web transactions and Rate Errors Duration (RED) metrics for Linux HTTP/S and gRPC services. All data capture occurs without any modifications to application code or configuration.

This integration includes 2 pre-built dashboards to help monitor and visualize Beyla metrics.
