What is Grafana Cloud?

Grafana Cloud is a composed platform that provides observability as a service. With Grafana Cloud, it is possible to integrate custom metrics, traces and logs into the Grafana dashboard. Also, without installation overhead, users can use several open-source observability tools like Open Telemetry, Tempo, Prometheus, Loki, and many more.

Building an integrated observability stack from open-source components is a time-consuming process. With Grafana Cloud it is as simple as selecting the service(s) to monitor and installing the Prometheus-inspired agent. This will produce pre-configured alerts and dashboards. Dashboards include live metrics and alerts.
