Grafana Alloy Documentation

This directory contains documentation for Grafana Alloy. It is split into the following parts:

• sources/: Source of user-facing documentation. This directory is hosted on grafana.com/docs/alloy, and we recommend viewing it there instead of the markdown on GitHub.
• developer/: Documentation for contributors and maintainers.

Preview the website

Run make docs. This launches a preview of the website with the current grafana docs at http://localhost:3002/docs/alloy/latest/ which automatically refreshes when changes are made to content in the sources directory. Make sure Docker is running.

Update CloudWatch docs

First, inside the docs/ folder run make check-cloudwatch-integration to verify that the CloudWatch docs needs updating.

If the check fails, then the doc supported services list should be updated. For that, run make generate-cloudwatch-integration to get the updated list, which should replace the old one in the docs.

Update generated reference docs

Some sections of Grafana Alloy reference documentation are automatically generated. To update them, run make generate-docs.
