Install and manage integrations using Terraform

In addition to managing your Grafana integrations 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.

  1. Find your desired integration in the list of Grafana Cloud integrations.

  2. Follow the instructions to install and configure Grafana Alloy.

  3. Follow the instructions in the Terraform Provider for Grafana documentation to install and configure the provider.

  4. Create a Terraform plan using the grafana_cloud_integration resource to manage the installation of the dashboards and alerts for your integration.
