Slide 1 of 9

Time to deploy

Deploy an integration

What you learned in Module 2:

  • What integrations are and when to use them
  • Ten commonly deployed integrations across different categories
  • How each integration addresses specific monitoring needs

What you’ll do in this module:

You’ll complete a guided learning path that walks you through:

  1. Installing Grafana Alloy — The telemetry collector that sends data to Grafana Cloud
  2. Configuring the integration — Setting up collection for your specific technology
  3. Verifying data flow — Confirming metrics and logs arrive in Grafana Cloud
  4. Exploring dashboards — Using pre-built visualizations to monitor your system

Estimated time: 15-30 minutes depending on your environment

Script

You’ve learned what integrations are and explored the ten most commonly deployed ones. Great progress so far.

Now it’s time to get hands-on. In this module, you’ll deploy an integration step by step using a guided learning path. Each path walks you through the complete process: installing Grafana Alloy, configuring the integration for your environment, verifying that data flows to Grafana Cloud, and exploring pre-built dashboards.

On the next slide, you’ll choose which integration to deploy based on your environment.
