# Install and manage integrations using Terraform

In addition to [managing your Grafana integrations](/docs/cloud-onboarding/next/manage-integrations-using-terraform/install-and-manage-integrations.md) via the **Connections** page in your Grafana Cloud instance, we provide a Terraform resource to manage the integration dashboards and alerts in your Grafana Cloud instance.

**Please note:** You must still follow the pre-requisites for your integration in order to properly instrument the system to be monitored.

## Install an integration

To install an integration:

1. Find your desired integration in the list of [Grafana Cloud integrations](/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference).
2. Follow the instructions to install and configure Grafana Alloy.
3. Follow the instructions in the [Terraform Provider for Grafana documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs) to install and configure the provider.
4. Create a Terraform plan using the [grafana\_cloud\_integration](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/cloud_integration) resource to manage the installation of the dashboards and alerts for your integration.

## Update an integration

To update an integration:

1. Find your desired integration in the list of [Grafana Cloud integrations](/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference).
2. Check the changelog to see if an Alloy config update is required. If so, update the Alloy config.
3. Destroy and reapply the Terraform plan for your [grafana\_cloud\_integration](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/cloud_integration) resource for dashboards and alerts to be re-applied.

## Delete an integration

To delete an integration:

1. Disable Alloy or remove the requisite integration configuration from your Alloy configuration.
2. Remove the requisite [grafana\_cloud\_integration](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/cloud_integration) resource from your Terraform plan
3. Apply your Terraform plan to remove the integration from Grafana Cloud.
