Grafana Agent is a vendor-neutral, programmable telemetry collector built as an OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with Terraform-inspired configuration. It collects, transforms, and ships metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana ecosystems. The project reached End-of-Life on November 1, 2025 and users should migrate to Grafana Alloy.

Use cases

  • collect metrics logs and traces from my servers
  • run an opentelemetry collector with prometheus support
  • ship telemetry to grafana loki tempo mimir
  • build programmable observability pipelines
  • collect kubernetes cluster telemetry
  • replace promtail and otel collector with one agent

When to choose

  • you are already running it and need reference material for migration
  • you need a lightweight all-in-one telemetry collector for legacy setups

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - use Grafana Alloy instead
  • you need security fixes or vendor support - Agent is EOL since November 2025
