Grafana Alloy

Adds the official Grafana package repository (key fingerprint checked), installs Alloy 1.20.1 after checking the package checksum and starts its service. With a remote write address it writes a configuration that sends host metrics there; an Alloy configuration you edited is never replaced.

What you will be asked

You fill these in during setup.

  • Remote write address OptionalAdvanced settings
    Optional. A Prometheus remote write address, for example the one VictoriaMetrics or Grafana Cloud gives you (http://host:8428/api/v1/write). Alloy then sends this server's host metrics there. Leave empty to install Alloy with its default configuration. Do not put a user name or password in the address; use the two settings below.
  • Remote write user OptionalAdvanced settings
    Optional. The basic-auth user of the remote write address. Give it together with the password.
  • Remote write password OptionalAdvanced settings
    Optional. The basic-auth password. It is saved in /etc/alloy/remote_write_password (readable by root and the alloy service only).
