SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Grafana Alloy OpenTelemetry collector and telemetry pipeline configuration. Covers the Alloy configuration language (blocks, attributes, expressions), components for collecting metrics/logs/traces/profiles, sending data to Grafana Cloud/Prometheus/Loki/Tempo, clustering, Fleet Management remote config, and building telemetry pipelines. Use when configuring Alloy, writing Alloy config files (.alloy), building data collection pipelines, setting up scraping, or troubleshooting Alloy deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Alloy configuration language: blocks, attributes, and expressions to compose telemetry pipelines.
  • Components: metrics, logs, traces, and profiles collectors and exporters across Grafana Cloud, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo.
  • Fleet Management remote config and clustering support for scalable deployments.

Quick Start

Create an Alloy config file and run alloy to bootstrap your telemetry pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure a telemetry pipeline for Grafana Cloud using Alloy?

You configure a telemetry pipeline for Grafana Cloud by writing an Alloy config file (.alloy) that uses blocks, attributes, and expressions to define collectors and exporters for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles.

What is the Alloy configuration language and how does it work?

The Alloy configuration language is a syntax used to compose telemetry pipelines, utilizing blocks, attributes, and expressions to define data collection, scraping, and exporting components across various observability backends.

Can I use Alloy for remote config and clustering in scalable deployments?

Yes, Alloy supports Fleet Management remote config and clustering, allowing you to manage scalable telemetry pipeline deployments across multiple nodes and remote configurations efficiently.

Does Alloy work with Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo for observability data?

Yes, Alloy works with Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo, providing specific components to collect and export metrics, logs, and traces to these observability platforms within your telemetry pipelines.

How do I set up scraping and data collection with OpenTelemetry using Alloy?

You set up scraping and data collection by configuring OpenTelemetry collector components within your Alloy configuration file, defining the necessary attributes and blocks to gather metrics, logs, and traces.
