Grafana Cloud
Instrument and send data to Grafana Cloud
Grafana Cloud provides multiple pathways to ingest and manage telemetry data from your infrastructure and applications, including metrics, logs, and distributed traces, as well as the comprehensive OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) for unified observability data collection.
You can use Grafana Alloy, a vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry Collector distribution, to collect and process telemetry across complex environments. Fleet Management provides the ability to manage Alloy collectors.
You can also establish secure, private connectivity to Grafana Cloud from your AWS Virtual Private Cloud, Azure Virtual Network, or GCP Private Cloud without exposing traffic to the public internet.
