Configure manually to send infrastructure data to Grafana Cloud
You can send metrics, logs, events, cost data, and traces with the Grafana Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart. This is the recommended approach for sending telemetry data to Grafana Cloud to monitor your Kubernetes fleet. However, there are manual configuration methods available, depending on your circumstances and the technologies you prefer. Regardless of the approach you take, you can use the preconfigured alerts and recording rules available with Kubernetes Monitoring.
Send metrics and logs to Grafana Cloud
To send metrics and logs, you can configure with:
- Grafana Agent in static mode
- Grafana Agent Operator
- The OpenTelemetry Collector
- Helm and Terraform
- Helm and Ansible
- Argo CD
Send metrics to Grafana Cloud
To send metrics only, you can:
- Configure a new or existing Prometheus installation using remote_write.
- Migrate a Kube-Prometheus Helm stack in your Kubernetes cluster.
