SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring provides comprehensive visibility into Kubernetes clusters, cloud provider metrics, and host/container performance, enabling proactive maintenance and faster issue diagnosis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Kubernetes monitoring via the k8s-monitoring Helm chart to collect cluster telemetry
  • Cloud provider integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP) for cross-platform metrics
  • Node exporter or cAdvisor integration for host and container metrics
  • Infrastructure dashboards and alerting to track reliability and cost

Quick Start

Install and configure the k8s-monitoring Helm chart to begin collecting infrastructure metrics from your cluster.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor Kubernetes cluster infrastructure in Grafana Cloud?

Monitor Kubernetes infrastructure in Grafana Cloud by deploying the k8s-monitoring Helm chart to collect cluster telemetry. This aggregates metrics into unified dashboards for production and staging environments, enabling proactive maintenance and faster issue diagnosis.

Can I collect cloud provider metrics across multi-cloud environments with Grafana?

Yes, Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring supports cloud provider integrations for AWS, Azure, and GCP. It aggregates cross-platform metrics from multi-cloud environments alongside host and container performance data into unified dashboards.

Do I need Helm to set up infrastructure monitoring for Grafana Cloud?

Yes, Helm-based deployment is required to install and configure the k8s-monitoring chart for Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring. You must properly configure cluster endpoints and data sources to integrate with Grafana Cloud services.

What is the best way to track host and container metrics for on-prem infrastructure?

Track host and container metrics for on-prem infrastructure by integrating node exporter or cAdvisor with Grafana Cloud. This collects telemetry data alongside Kubernetes and cloud-provider metrics for comprehensive visibility into reliability and cost.

Does Grafana infrastructure monitoring work across both staging and production clusters?

Yes, Grafana infrastructure monitoring applies across both production and staging Kubernetes clusters. It aggregates telemetry from multiple clusters, multi-cloud environments, and on-prem hosts into unified infrastructure dashboards and alerting.

Why configure data sources and cluster endpoints for infrastructure monitoring?

Configuring cluster endpoints and data sources is required for Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring integration. Proper setup ensures telemetry collection from Kubernetes, cloud-provider, and host/container metrics flows into unified dashboards for alerting.
