What to learn next
You now have a mental model for Alloy. The best next step depends on whether you want a Cloud guided path, a workshop-style practice environment, or runnable configuration examples.
Recommended learning paths
- Send logs to Grafana Cloud using Alloy — install Alloy and send system logs to Loki
- Monitor collector health using Grafana Fleet Management — register a collector and inspect fleet health
- Categorize a collector fleet in Fleet Management — organize collectors with remote attributes
Workshops and examples
- Grafana Alloy for Beginners playlist — video series that walks from concepts through infrastructure and application pipelines
- Grafana Alloy for Beginners workshop repo — Docker-based learning environment used with the playlist
- alloy-scenarios — self-contained runnable examples for logs, metrics, traces, and more
