this is just marketing spam for: install this plugin.

  the Infinity plugin is pretty awesome, free, and oss; i'm not sure this qualifies as spam, per se. nothing there requires signing up for cloud/SaaS, and you can 100% run this locally. i mean, you can always roll your own UI if that's something you prefer / can do. (grafana uses uPlot [0] if you need to render millions of points). disclaimer: i work on dataviz at grafana [0] https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot https://github.com/leeoniya/uPlot

    I'm guessing that because the article/blogpost only talks about Grafana Cloud and doesn't even mention that there are other ways of running it, it ends up reading kind of like marketing post rather than just instructions/engineering post.

      > it ends up reading kind of like marketing post well, that's not untrue either :)

  Yeah, it also has high "draw the rest of the owl" levels. It just tells you how to import someone else's dashboard as opposed to telling you how one might configure that from scratch. All the steps that promise slightly more details just mention "Coming Soon" [0] [0]: https://github.com/scarolan/grafana-cloud-tutorial/blob/main/02-the-first-trial/README.md https://github.com/scarolan/grafana-cloud-tutorial/blob/main...
