Individual skill
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.

# Grafana Alloy
> **Docs**: https://grafana.com/docs/alloy/latest/
OpenTelemetry-compatible collector — one binary for metrics + logs + traces + profiles.
## Prerequisites
- `alloy` CLI installed (`brew install grafana/grafana/alloy`, `apt install alloy`, or `grafana/alloy` Docker image)
- An endpoint to ship to (Grafana Cloud, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Pyroscope)
- API key + username for that endpoint, exported as `GRAFANA_API_KEY` etc.
