@nerdblogpl Pushing directly from an application to a DB removes the ability to have centralized transforms and risks data loss if your app crashes.

Because of this, you normally want a collector in between your app and the database anyway, regardless of whether you're using push/pull.

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@nerdblogpl I used to work on Alloy, so I can answer: pulling metrics has a few benefits, like being able to tell you if target is down (the up metric).

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@after_ephemera @grafana i don't have any good ideas for how to handle that today, but i also want something like this. i'm planning on adding on YAML support within the next few months that uses Alloy syntax expressions embedded inside ${} stanzas.

sorry it won't be TOML, which i prefer over YAML tbh

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@rtl_sdr Glad to hear you got it working!

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@rtl_sdr Hello! I agree that this is confusing. Currently, scrape errors are only logged when debug log lines are enabled. Alternatively, you can Alloy's UI[1] to debug your prometheus.scrape component to see whether targets are being scraped successfully.

Alloy is the spiritual successor to Grafana Agent, blending the best of both the OpenTelemetry and Prometheus! 💪

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@kkakkoyun @sh0rez sorry about the unfortunate timing here. feel free to reach out to me personally or publicly if you have feedback!

[Grafana @grafana]

At #GrafanaCON, we've just unveiled Grafana Alloy, our open source distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector: https://t.co/YQemf1at5z

Alloy is a telemetry collector that is 100% OTLP compatible and offers native pipelines for OpenTelemetry and #Prometheus telemetry formats, supporting metrics, logs, traces, and profiles.

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@kkakkoyun @sh0rez we wrote a series of migration guides here: https://t.co/jymHV8oETz

I'd love feedback about how we could make this process easier if you find it's not straightforward enough.

[Robert Fratto @robertfratto]

@pavangudiwada_ @grafana I don't see why it shouldn't be possible, but it sounds like I'll need more info to see what you've tried and identify where it hasn't been working so far, but that might be hard on here.

Would you mind opening a discussion in the grafana/agent repo for a longer form chat?
