Setup Guide

Step 1: Access your Grafana Cloud account

1. Access to Grafana Cloud website and login your account.
2. Click My Account in the upper right corner.
3. Click Details under your Grafana Cloud stack section.
4. Click Details in Tempo section.

If Service Graph (topology) data is already available and you want to integrate it, please follow these steps:

1. Open your Grafana Cloud stack and click Details in the Prometheus section.
2. Scroll down to Query Endpoint section.
3. Generate an Password if you don't already have one.
4. Copy and paste the following values into the corresponding fields:
   • Query URL value into PrometheusAddress field;

   • Password value into Prometheus Token field.
