Time to put what you’ve learned into practice. This learning path walks you through configuring Prometheus to send metrics to Grafana Cloud using remote write.

You’ll verify your Prometheus setup, configure the remote_write block with your Grafana Cloud credentials, and confirm that metrics are flowing to Mimir.

By the end, you’ll have Prometheus sending metrics to Grafana Cloud and be able to query them in Grafana.

You have three options for completing this exercise. You can open it directly in your Grafana Cloud stack for a fully interactive experience. You can try it in the Grafana Play environment if you want to explore without affecting your own stack. Or you can read through the learning path on the website to understand the process before trying it yourself.
