Grafana Cloud Integrations

Grafana Cloud Integrations connect cloud provider monitoring APIs to your Grafana stack without running your own exporters. Hosted exporters scrape cloud APIs on your behalf and push metrics to your Grafana Cloud stack.

Supported hosted exporters:

• AWS CloudWatch - all CloudWatch namespaces via YACE (Yet Another CloudWatch Exporter)
• Azure Monitor - Azure resource metrics via the Azure Monitor API
• Confluent Cloud - Kafka cluster metrics via the Confluent Metrics API
• Generic HTTP endpoint - any Prometheus-format /metrics endpoint behind auth

AWS Firehose receiver - ingests CloudWatch Logs and Metrics Streams pushed via Kinesis Firehose (near real-time, lower latency than API scraping).
