Integrating Linux Server into Grafana Cloud Using Alloy

Grafana Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I am trying to integrate my Linux server into Grafana Cloud, and I am facing some challenges with the setup. Specifically:

  1. Grafana Cloud is asking me to run the Alloy service for integration.
  2. As part of this, I need to generate a token and validate the command on my Linux server.
  3. However, when I run the command, I encounter a curl error related to SSL certificates (curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate).

I am unsure whether I am following the correct process or if I might have missed a step in the integration.

Could anyone guide me on this? Any detailed steps, documentation, or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

when you ran which command?

I am currently working on integrating my Linux server (or Apache Tomcat) into Grafana Cloud. As part of the integration process, Grafana Cloud requires creating a token, which is then used to install and run the Alloy service on the Linux server.

The command provided by Grafana, which includes the generated token and uses curl, needs to be executed on the Linux server. However, when I run the command, I encounter an SSL certificate error:
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate.

Still not seeing the command you’re running anywho

Is this server a docker instance behind a company firewall?

Its not a Docker instance, a VM which is hosted on a cloud behind the company firewall.

That “company firewall” is doing “Deep packet inspection” (DPI), so it is changing used CA certificate for https requests to Grafana Cloud.
Ask your Company Admins, how can you install CA certificate used for DPI on your linux server.

Thank you so much for the response.
