Install the QuickPizza demo

This path uses the QuickPizza tutorial data sources, which include a Prometheus data source named grafanacloud-play-prom that carries real metrics from a running demo service. Querying these data sources does not count toward your Grafana Cloud usage.

The install runs from the Demo Data Dashboards app in the left nav. After the install finishes, Grafana refreshes the page and the alerting flow picks up in the next milestone.

  1. Expand More apps in the main menu, then open Demo Data Dashboards.

  2. Click Install the Quick Pizza SRE demo. This deploys the tutorial data sources and refreshes the page.

    1. Click Install the Quick Pizza SRE demo.

Install opens the QuickPizza dashboards folder. Those dashboards use the tutorial Prometheus data source grafanacloud-play-prom. Next, you’ll open the new alert rule page and build a query on that same data.
