Advantages of Prometheus remote write
There are multiple ways to send Prometheus metrics to Grafana Cloud, but using the remote write feature offers several key benefits.
You should consider using Prometheus remote write if you:
- Already have a Prometheus setup and prefer not to install Grafana Alloy or any other collectors.
- Want to explore Grafana Cloud without making significant changes to your existing configuration.
- Intend to send only certain metrics to Grafana Cloud while keeping other metrics stored locally in your Prometheus.
