Validate before distributing
Treat configuration validation and alloy fmt checks as part of the configuration pipeline.

Grafana Alloy Fleet Manager
Open-source tooling for managing Grafana Alloy fleets with validation, configuration pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code workflows.

From configuration to observability pipelines
Conceptual tooling flow for validation and fleet configuration. This describes the toolkit under development, not a completed production deployment.
Author & validate
Check configuration and formatting before distribution.
- Grafana Alloy
- alloy fmt
Manage the fleet
API, UI and infrastructure-as-code integration concepts.
- Go
- React
- Terraform
Connect telemetry
Metrics, logs and traces in observability pipelines.
- OpenTelemetry
- Prometheus
- Loki
- Tempo
The challenge
Grafana Alloy configuration can become difficult to validate, format, distribute, and reason about across a growing fleet.
The approach
Built a toolkit around API and UI components, Terraform provider integration, Alloy config validation, alloy fmt validation, and pipeline-oriented config management.
My role
Designed and implemented the toolkit concepts across backend, UI, validation, and infrastructure integration.
Engineering decisions
Manage configuration as code
Design Terraform-provider integration alongside the API and UI so fleet workflows can fit existing infrastructure practices.
Scope & delivery
- Alloy configuration validation and formatting workflows.
- Promtail-to-Grafana-Alloy migration patterns and agent resource tuning.
- API and UI concepts for managing fleet configuration state.
- Terraform-provider-oriented integration for infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Observability pipeline concepts across OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, and Alertmanager.
