--- title: "Work with your resources | Grafana documentation" description: "Grafana and Grafana Cloud resources you can manage with gcx, and the commands to use for each." --- > For a curated documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt). For the complete documentation index, see [llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt). # Work with your resources `gcx` lets you manage resources across Grafana and Grafana Cloud, from dashboards and alert rules to SLOs, on-call schedules, and synthetic checks. You can work with resources in two ways: - [Declarative resource workflows](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/guides/available-resources/#declarative-resource-workflows): Manage resources as JSON or YAML files with a single set of commands. - [Product-specific commands](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/guides/available-resources/#product-specific-commands): Use dedicated commands for each Grafana area or Grafana Cloud product. You can also [query your telemetry](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/guides/available-resources/#query-telemetry), such as metrics, logs, traces, and profiles, from the command line. ## Declarative resource workflows Use [`gcx resources`](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/cli-reference/#gcx-resources) to pull, push, inspect, edit, validate, and delete resources as JSON or YAML manifests. The same commands work for Grafana-native resources, such as `dashboards`, `folders`, `alertrules`, `routingtrees`, `templategroups`, and `timeintervals`, and for supported Grafana Cloud provider resources. To find out which resource types your instance serves, run [`gcx resources list-types`](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/cli-reference/#gcx-resources-list-types). To view example manifests, run [`gcx resources list-examples`](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/cli-reference/#gcx-resources-list-examples). For step-by-step workflows, refer to [Resource management workflows](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/guides/manage-resources/). ## Product-specific commands Each Grafana area and Grafana Cloud product also has its own commands to create, inspect, update, and operate its resources. Areas that also list `gcx resources` in the table support both ways of working. The following table lists the main Grafana areas and Grafana Cloud products you can manage with `gcx`. For the complete list of commands, refer to the [CLI reference](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/next/ai-tools/grafana-cli/gcx/cli-reference/) or run the command with `--help`.
