This directory contains a Docker Compose environment that can be used to test Grafana Alloy.

NOTE: This environment is not intended for production use, and is maintained on a best-effort basis.

By default, only Grafana and databases are exposed:

• Grafana, for visualizing telemetry (localhost:3000)
• Grafana Mimir, for storing metrics (localhost:9009)
• Grafana Loki, for storing logs (localhost:3100)
• Grafana Tempo, for storing traces (localhost:3200)
• Grafana Pyroscope, for storing profiles (localhost:4040)

Grafana is automatically provisioned with the appropriate datasources and dashboards for monitoring Grafana Alloy.

To start the environment, run:

docker compose up -d

To stop the environment, run:

docker compose down

Alloy can either be run locally or within Docker Compose. The example configuration can be used to send self-monitoring data from a local Alloy to the various databases running in Docker Compose.

To run Alloy within Docker Compose, pass --profile=alloy to docker compose when starting and stopping the environment:

docker compose --profile=alloy up -d

docker compose --profile=alloy down

To visualize Alloy data in Grafana, open http://localhost:3000 in a web browser and look at the dashboards in the Alloy folder.

NOTE: It can take up to a minute for Alloy metrics and profiles to start appearing.
