Chapter 2 — Grafana Cloud APIs

Grafana Cloud

A book-shaped table of contents for Grafana Cloud: platform foundations through telemetry collection, Mimir/Loki/Tempo/Pyroscope, visualization, application observability, reliability tooling, developer experience, governance, and enterprise reference architectures — cross-linking existing notes instead of duplicating them.

Chapter 1 — GCX CLI

Installation, authentication, context management, and resource/dashboard/alerting/SLO/synthetic-monitoring workflows via the gcx CLI, including AI agent integration, GitOps, CI/CD, and migration from grafanactl.

Chapter 4 — Observability as Code

GitOps for dashboards and alerting, provisioning, promotion pipelines, and drift detection across Grafana Cloud environments.

Chapter 3 — Terraform Provider

Provisioning dashboards, data sources, alerting, teams, RBAC, SLOs, and synthetic checks through the Grafana Terraform provider.

Chapter 3 — Grafana User Interface

Home, Explore, Dashboards, Drilldowns, Connections, Plugins, and Administration as the day-to-day navigation surface, plus navigation best practices.
