Before you begin

Before you design your labeling strategy, ensure that you have:

  • A Grafana Cloud account. To create an account, refer to Grafana Cloud. A stack that’s already receiving metrics and logs shows richer data in the hands-on interactive guides.
  • The permissions granted by the Billing and usage reader role, including cardinality read access. Refer to Manage access to the Cost Management and Billing app.
  • Basic familiarity with metrics and logs concepts.
