About this lab
Whether you are collecting telemetry data in Prometheus and/or OpenTelemetry formats to observe your infrastructure, applications, or both — Grafana Alloy can help you accomplish it all.
An open source distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector with built-in Prometheus optimizations, Alloy supports metrics, logs, traces, and profiles.
Join this hands-on lab to build telemetry pipelines with Alloy from start to finish, using Alloy’s Prometheus and OpenTelemetry components to receive, transform, and ship data from a set of demo APIs and a Postgres database to Grafana observability backends. By the end of the three hours, you will be able to:
- Understand Alloy components and their uses.
- Use Alloy’s configuration language.
- Configure OpenTelemetry and Prometheus native pipelines within Alloy.
- Collect, process, and export telemetry data to the observability backends of your choice.
- Troubleshoot pipelines by using the Debug UI.
- Visualize telemetry data using a Grafana dashboard.
Requirements:
- Linux/MacOS/WSL2
- Docker
- Docker Compose This session is tailored for developers and SREs.
Workshops are only available for in-person conference attendees, and they will all be held on Tuesday, May 6. You may register for up to one morning workshop and one afternoon workshop. Workshop tickets can only be purchased along with a conference ticket.
