Which Grafana is right for you?
Understand your Grafana deployment options and choose the right one for your team.
Introduction to Grafana Cloud
Decide whether Grafana Cloud is right for you. Learn how it brings your telemetry together, scales without your backend management, maintains compliance and security, adds AI capabilities, offers turnkey solutions, and speeds up incident response.
Introduction to monitoring databases
Monitor your databases with Grafana Cloud, from overall instance health to individual queries. Database integrations give you prebuilt dashboards, alerts, and database-level metrics across MongoDB, Redis, Memcached, Cassandra, Oracle, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Database Observability goes deeper for MySQL and PostgreSQL, showing how every query performs and why. In this journey, you'll learn what each approach gives you, how to choose between them, and how to set them up hands-on.
Introduction to integrations
Grafana integrations are turnkey monitoring packages for a wide range of common technologies. Each one comes with a preconfigured Grafana Alloy setup, prebuilt dashboards, and alert rules, so you get monitoring in minutes instead of building it from scratch. In this journey, you'll learn what an integration is, how it differs from a data source connection, and how to set one up and use the dashboards and alerts it comes with.
Introduction to data sources
Explore common Grafana data sources, see how Grafana connects to data wherever it lives, and learn when a data source is the right way to bring your data in.
Introduction to monitoring cloud provider data
Set up observability for your cloud provider accounts and services using Grafana.
