Grafana Tempo Cloud

Supported Data Types: Trace RedMetric ServiceInstance Topology

This document describes how to integrate Trace, RedMetric, ServiceInstance, Topology data from Grafana Tempo Cloud into Syncause.

  • You need access to a running Syncause service to complete this tutorial. For instructions, please refer to the "Setup" section.
  • You need a Grafana Cloud account with Tempo features enabled. For Grafana Tempo Community Edition, please refer to the document Grafana Tempo CE.
  • Access Syncause's Ingestion > External Data Sources > click Tempo to create a new Grafana Tempo data type.

Grafana Tempo Cloud's Service Graph (Topology) is not automatically generated. If it's missing, you need to enable Observability -> Application to generate this data, which may incur charges. Topology-related metrics can be integrated via Prometheus.
