Choose your integration

Choose a learning path

Select the integration that matches your environment.

Note: A Grafana Cloud account is helpful for hands-on practice, but completely optional. You can read through any learning path to understand the deployment process without deploying yourself.

Tip: Each learning path takes 15-30 minutes depending on your environment.


Looking for a different integration?

We have learning paths for the integrations above. For HAProxy, IIS, SNMP, Istio, or any of the 100+ other integrations, use the integration reference documentation. The docs include prerequisites, configuration snippets, and troubleshooting tips.

Script

Pick the integration that matches your environment. If you’re new to Grafana Cloud, starting with Linux or Windows for host monitoring is recommended. It’s the foundation. If you already have host monitoring, try a database integration like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB.

A Grafana Cloud account is helpful if you want to follow along and deploy an integration yourself, but it’s completely optional. You’re welcome to read through any learning path to get a sense of what’s involved in deploying an integration, even if you’re not ready to deploy one yet.
