My first experience of grafana was installing a self hosted server, and using telegraf agent to collect metrics and send them back to the server. I found a generic Linux System dashboard, and one for Mysql, and have used them for 2-3 years.
I recently did some work for another client, and suggested grafana for monitoring a troublesome server. They went for the grafana cloud version, using the grafana agent, and then just activating the built-in ‘integrations’ that were available on the cloud server.
I think I prefer the simpler grafana agent + grafana cloud integrations dashboards. Is it possible to switch my existing servers over to using the grafana agent and cloud dashboards, but logging to my self-hosted grafana instance. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a few days, but havent managed to figure it out. Is it possible? Is there a walkthrough anywhere around the internet that has escaped my googling?
