Nice work. The database integration is set up and metrics should be flowing into Grafana Cloud.

Take a moment to review what was accomplished. Grafana Alloy is installed and configured with a database exporter. Metrics are being collected and forwarded to Grafana Cloud. Pre-built dashboards and alerts are ready to use.

From here, there are a few options. Go back and set up a second integration for a different database. Continue to the wrap-up to review what you covered in this course. Or explore the full integration catalog in the Grafana Cloud documentation.
