How to monitor Gunicorn via statsD in hosted setup?

Grafana Cloud
1

I’d like to monitor a Gunicorn server. It exports to a statsD server via UDP.

The resources I found online say that I’ll need to use statsd_exporter and send them into Prometeus. For example:

My question is how can I do this with hosted Grafana? What do I need to install locally and what on the cloud website?

The application runs inside a Docker container but I have the agent installed on the Linux host which runs Docker.

the second article is spot on. do you currently have a hosted prometheus instance?

What I have is:

  1. A linux host where I’ve installed the Linux agent from the web UI which generated the sudo command with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/release/production/grafanacloud-install.sh
  2. Now I’m on this screen:

Do I have to install that agent-linux-amd64 as well, or it’s the same agent which is already installed on the host?

If so, do I just need to mix the two configs with each other?

If I understand correctly, I need to add this in my agent config, right?
