Choose your deployment platform
Your first hands-on step is to find the HAProxy integration and select the platform where you’ll install Grafana Alloy.
Grafana Cloud uses your platform selection to generate the correct installation commands for Alloy.
Click Connections > Add new connection in the left-side menu.
Filter the connections by typing HAProxy in the search.
Click the HAProxy tile.
Select the operating system that matches your HAProxy server.
Select the architecture that matches your system (Amd64 for x86_64, Arm64 for aarch64).
If you are unsure of the architecture, run uname -m in your terminal. If it returns x86_64, select Amd64. If it returns aarch64, select Arm64.
