alloy
From the author
Build a unified telemetry pipeline with Grafana Alloy — one OpenTelemetry-compatible binary that collects metrics, logs, traces, and profiles and ships to Grafana Cloud / Prometheus / Loki / Tempo / Pyroscope. Covers the Alloy config language (blocks, `sys.env`, component refs), `prometheus.scrape` → `remote_write`, `loki.source.file` + `loki.process` → `loki.write`, `otelcol.receiver.otlp` → `otelcol.exporter.otlp`, `pyroscope.scrape`, K8s / Docker / EC2 discovery, relabeling, modules (`import.file/git/http`), clustering, Fleet Management `remotecfg`, the Alloy UI at `:12345`, and `alloy fmt` / `alloy validate`. Use when writing a `config.alloy`, replacing Grafana Agent / OTel Collector, scraping K8s pods, parsing logs, ingesting OTLP, or debugging "Alloy isn't sending anything" — even when the user says "set up the agent", "write me a scrape config", "drop these logs before sending", or "OTel collector config" without naming Alloy.

- send-datagrafana/skillsSending 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.OfficialDevOps★ 290
- fleet-managementgrafana/skillsManage a fleet of Grafana Alloy collectors with Fleet Management — author Alloy pipelines once, target them via attribute matchers (`env="production"`, regex `region=~"us-.*"`), push remotely via OpAMP without restarting collectors. Covers pipeline create / update / matcher RPCs, collector attribute API, `remotecfg` bootstrap block (standalone + Helm), pre-deploy `alloy fmt` validation, the local Alloy UI at port 12345 for component health, and post-deploy `REMOTE_CONFIG_STATUS_APPLIED` verification. Use when standing up a Cloud Alloy fleet, pushing a config change to 200 collectors, hunting why one collector shows `REMOTE_CONFIG_STATUS_FAILED`, validating River syntax before saving, or wiring `discovery.kubernetes` → `prometheus.remote_write` — even when the user says "configure Alloy", "remote config the collectors", "push pipeline", "OpAMP", "collector is unhealthy", or "manage agent config centrally" without naming Fleet Management.OfficialDevOps★ 290
- opentelemetrygrafana/skillsInstrument any app with OpenTelemetry and ship metrics / logs / traces to Grafana Cloud or self-hosted Mimir / Loki / Tempo / Pyroscope. Covers SDK auto-instrumentation for Go, Java (Grafana JVM agent), Python (`opentelemetry-instrument`), Node.js, .NET (`Grafana.OpenTelemetry`), Beyla eBPF for zero-code; Grafana Cloud OTLP gateway + Basic-auth (instanceID + API key, base64); env-var config (`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*`, `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES`); Alloy / OTel-Collector pipelines; Kubernetes Operator inject-annotations; and head + tail sampling. Use when instrumenting a service, pointing OTLP at Grafana Cloud, switching from Jaeger / Datadog / New Relic, choosing head- vs tail-sampling, or debugging "spans aren't showing in Explore" — even when the user says "auto-instrument my Java app", "send traces to Grafana", "what env vars do I set", "OTLP endpoint", or "Operator inject" without naming OpenTelemetry.OfficialDevOps★ 290
- infrastructuregrafana/skillsShip Kubernetes, host, container, and cloud-provider telemetry into Grafana Cloud — `k8s-monitoring` Helm chart for K8s clusters (metrics + logs + traces + events + cost), Alloy `prometheus.exporter.unix` for Linux hosts, cAdvisor + Docker discovery for containers, and CloudWatch / Azure Monitor / Google Cloud Monitoring datasource setup. Use when onboarding a new cluster or VM fleet to Grafana Cloud, picking the right Helm values for K8s scraping, wiring kube-state-metrics + node-exporter + cAdvisor, alerting on `PodCrashLooping` / node memory / PVC capacity, or pulling AWS / Azure / GCP cloud metrics — even when the user says "monitor my cluster", "send K8s metrics to Grafana", "scrape EC2 metrics", "cluster pod logs", or "install the monitoring helm chart" without naming `k8s-monitoring` or Alloy.OfficialDevOps★ 290
- lokigrafana/skillsGrafana Loki log aggregation and LogQL query language. Covers LogQL syntax (log queries, metric queries, label matchers, line filters, parsers: json/logfmt/pattern/regexp/unpack, label filters, line_format), Loki architecture, log ingestion via Alloy/Promtail/Fluent Bit, structured metadata, and Logs Drilldown. Use when writing LogQL queries, configuring Loki, troubleshooting log pipelines, or analyzing logs.OfficialWriting★ 290
- loki-loggingBagelHole/DevOps-Security-Agent-SkillsConfigure Grafana Loki for log aggregation and analysis. Set up Promtail for log collection, write LogQL queries, and integrate with Grafana for visualization. Use when implementing lightweight log aggregation, especially in Kubernetes environments.DevOps★ 1.2K
