Problem setting up Application monitoring in Grafana Cloud

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
❯ helm list -n infra
NAME                  	NAMESPACE	REVISION	UPDATED                                	STATUS  	CHART                	APP VERSION
grafana-k8s-monitoring	infra    	1       	2025-03-15 22:06:44.047244144 +0400 +04	deployed	k8s-monitoring-2.0.18	2.0.18
  • What are you trying to achieve?
    I want to enable back application monitoring after it was shut down because of the new pricing model

  • How are you trying to achieve it?
    with the following values.yaml, installing the latest version of the helm chart

  • What happened?
    The chart was deployed successfully, I can see application metrics, logs and spans in the UI, BUT on the application monitoring page I still get the message that I have to enable the applicationObservability even though it is enabled in the values file as the instruction requires Application Observability host-hours pricing | Grafana Cloud documentation. Here is the metrics status page

  • What did you expect to happen?
    Application observability working

  • Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
