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.
