alloy
Build a unified telemetry pipeline with Grafana Alloy — one OpenTelemetry-compatible binary that collects metrics, logs, traces, and profiles and ships to Grafana Cloud / Prometheus / Loki / Tempo / Pyroscope. Covers the Alloy config language (blocks, sys.env, component refs), prometheus.scrape → remote_write, loki.source.file + loki.process → loki.write, otelcol.receiver.otlp → otelcol.exporter.otlp, pyroscope.scrape, K8s / Docker / EC2 discovery, relabeling, modules (import.file/git/http), clustering, Fleet Management remotecfg, the Alloy UI at :12345, and alloy fmt / alloy validate. Use when writing a config.alloy, replacing Grafana Agent / OTel Collector, scraping K8s pods, parsing logs, ingesting OTLP, or debugging "Alloy isn't sending anything" — even when the user says "set up the agent", "write me a scrape config", "drop these logs before sending", or "OTel collector config" without naming Alloy.
