Paths are short, task-based guides, each focused on a single outcome — deploying a Helm chart, connecting a data source, tuning an alert. Every path is a hands-on sequence you can finish in one sitting, and many let you practice directly in Grafana Play or your own Grafana stack.
Featured Paths
A curated list of our most popular topics.
A journey is a guided series of sections that builds up a topic in depth and is more comprehensive than a path, which covers one focused task.A path is a short, step-by-step guide to one focused task. It is quicker than a journey, which builds up a topic in sections.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to use Beyla to automatically instrument your applications with OpenTelemetry and send telemetry data to Grafana Cloud Traces.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to monitor MySQL databases with Grafana Alloy and use pre-built dashboards and alerts in Grafana Cloud.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to monitor PostgreSQL databases with Grafana Alloy and use pre-built dashboards and alerts in Grafana Cloud.
Welcome to the MongoDB monitoring learning path that shows you how to use Grafana Alloy to send MongoDB metrics to Grafana Cloud for comprehensive database observability.
Welcome to the Kafka monitoring learning path that shows you how to use Grafana Alloy to send Kafka metrics to Grafana Cloud for comprehensive event streaming observability.
Welcome to the Grafana Fleet Management learning path that shows you how to organize and categorize your collector fleet using custom attributes for remote configuration. Learn to categorize your infrastructure with meaningful attributes that answer critical questions such as who owns this collector, which service does it support, and where is it running.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that provides the best practice for creating a dashboard that visualizes JSON data using the Infinity data source.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to use Adaptive Metrics to automatically analyze and reduce unused or high-cardinality metrics.
Adaptive Logs reduces log volume and cost in Grafana Cloud by automatically identifying and dropping low-value logs while preserving the insights that matter.
Build a Grafana alert rule in Code mode — write a PromQL error-rate query, set a condition, add labels, configure evaluation and notifications, and save.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to use data transformations to shape, combine, and enhance your data for powerful visualizations and insights.
Welcome to the Grafana learning journey that shows you how to query, search, and analyze log data stored in Elasticsearch using Grafana's Explore interface.
Learn how to use the Cost Management and Billing app to understand your Grafana Cloud usage, identify cost drivers, and set up usage alerts to control spending.
Welcome to the Grafana Cloud learning path that shows you how to set up Synthetic Monitoring and create your first check to monitor endpoint availability from global probe locations.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to write, run, and analyze your first k6 performance test, from installation to visualizing results in Grafana Cloud.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to establish a k6 performance baseline with load profiles, checks, thresholds, and k6 Cloud result sharing.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to find system limits with k6 stress and breakpoint testing, map a capacity envelope, and apply results to operational guardrails.
Design spike-shaped k6 load tests, interpret blended summaries and phase timelines in Grafana Cloud k6, document recovery time and categories, and turn results into follow-up actions for SLOs, alerting, and retest cadence.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to automate k6 performance tests in CI/CD pipelines so performance is enforced on every deploy.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to test system endurance with k6 soak testing—design long-plateau profiles, stream results to Grafana Cloud k6, and document gradual degradation.
Welcome to the Grafana learning path that shows you how to use k6 Script Authoring mode in Grafana Assistant to generate, convert, improve, and validate k6 scripts for CI.
