Grafana Cloud private network connectivity — AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, and GCP Private Service Connect. Send telemetry (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) to Grafana Cloud without traversing the public internet. Eliminates cloud egress costs, meets compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, HIPAA). Use when setting up secure private telemetry ingestion from AWS/Azure/GCP, reducing egress costs, or meeting data residency/compliance requirements.
Grafana Cloud Application Observability (APM), Frontend Observability (RUM/Faro), and AI Observability. Covers RED metrics (Rate/Error/Duration), service maps, span metrics from traces, Faro JavaScript/React SDK for browser instrumentation, session replay, AI/LLM model monitoring, and integration with traces/logs/profiles for full-stack correlation. Use when setting up APM, configuring frontend monitoring, analyzing service performance, or monitoring AI/LLM applications.
Grafana Cloud AI and ML features — Grafana Assistant (natural language queries, dashboard generation, incident investigations), Dynamic Alerting (ML forecasting and outlier detection), Sift (automated root cause analysis with 8 analysis types), Knowledge Graph (entity discovery and RCA Workbench), and the LLM Plugin (OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure integration). Use when setting up AI-powered alerting, using natural language to query metrics/logs, automating incident investigation, or integrating LLMs with Grafana panels and workflows.
Reduce Grafana Cloud Metrics costs by managing cardinality with Adaptive Metrics aggregation rules. Use when the user asks to reduce metrics costs, manage cardinality, create aggregation rules, apply label dropping, analyse unused metrics, understand Active Series, or optimise Prometheus storage. Triggers on phrases like "adaptive metrics", "reduce cardinality", "aggregation rules", "metrics cost", "too many series", "Active Series", "label dropping", "unused metrics", "cardinality reduction", or "metrics spend".
Grafana Cloud infrastructure monitoring — Kubernetes monitoring, cloud provider integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP), host and container monitoring, infrastructure dashboards, and collector setup. Use when setting up Kubernetes monitoring, connecting cloud provider metrics, configuring node exporter or cAdvisor, setting up infrastructure dashboards, or using the k8s-monitoring Helm chart.
Grafana Professional Services tool for identifying which Prometheus metrics drive high Data Points per Minute (DPM). Analyzes metric-level DPM with per-label breakdown to help optimize Grafana Cloud costs. Use when the user asks about DPM analysis, high-cardinality metrics, metric cost optimization, finding noisy metrics, or running dpm-finder against a Grafana Cloud Prometheus endpoint.
Set up, configure, and troubleshoot Grafana Cloud integrations for AWS, Azure, and other cloud providers. Use when the user asks to connect AWS CloudWatch, set up Azure Monitor, configure Confluent Cloud observability, install a Grafana integration, set up hosted exporters, use AWS Firehose for CloudWatch logs, or troubleshoot a cloud integration. Triggers on phrases like "AWS CloudWatch", "Azure Monitor", "Confluent integration", "cloud integration", "hosted exporter", "AWS Firehose", "install integration", "cloud metrics", or "cloud logs".
Author Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring checks, with deep coverage of k6 scripted and browser checks: SM's single-VU/single-iteration execution model, assertions that actually fail probe_success (expect() and fail() vs bare check()), secrets, deterministic scripts, robust browser locators, local validation with k6 run, deployment via UI/API/Terraform, verifying probe_success, and rollback. Also helps choose the simplest sufficient check type (HTTP/ping/DNS/TCP, MultiHTTP, scripted, browser). Use when writing a synthetic check, monitoring a login/checkout/signup flow in production, converting a k6 script or an OpenAPI spec into a check, authoring a browser check, validating a user journey, or asking "is my site up from multiple regions". NOT for load, stress, or performance testing — SM runs one iteration per execution; for load tests use the grafana-k6 plugin or Grafana Cloud k6. For the broad Grafana Cloud Testing overview (SM + k6 Cloud + Faro), use the testing skill.
Diagnostic guide for active Prometheus cardinality problems — slow queries, OOMing Prometheus, high Grafana Cloud Active Series or DPM bills, "too many samples" ingest errors, series churn, or rapid memory growth. Walks through tsdb status endpoints, per-metric and per-label drill-downs, common-culprit galleries, and remediation paths. Use when the user is *currently experiencing* a cardinality fire. For preventing cardinality issues at the source, route to prometheus-label-strategy. For post-ingest aggregation, route to adaptive-metrics. For DPM-specific analysis, route to dpm-finder.
Sending telemetry data to Grafana Cloud — metrics via Prometheus remote write or OTLP, logs via Loki push or Alloy, traces via OTLP to Tempo, profiles via Pyroscope. Covers Alloy-based pipelines, direct SDK/agent integrations, cloud integrations catalog, and credentials management. Use when connecting an application or infrastructure to Grafana Cloud, setting up data ingestion, configuring remote write, or choosing between ingestion methods.
