Configure manually to send infrastructure data to Grafana Cloud

You can send metrics, logs, events, cost data, and traces with the Grafana Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart. This is the recommended approach for sending telemetry data to Grafana Cloud to monitor your Kubernetes fleet. However, there are manual configuration methods available, depending on your circumstances and the technologies you prefer. Regardless of the approach you take, you can use the preconfigured alerts and recording rules available with Kubernetes Monitoring.

• Grafana Agent in static mode
