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
