Rocky Linux, a community-driven and open-source operating system backed by CIQ, offers a powerful alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and fills the gap left by changes in the CentOS project. The Linux integration for Grafana Cloud provides an efficient way to monitor Rocky Linux by using the node_exporter embedded in Grafana Agent, enabling comprehensive monitoring of logs and metrics. Grafana Cloud's integration for Rocky Linux includes pre-built dashboards for various system metrics such as CPU, memory, and network, along with alerts for resource usage. Users can easily set up this monitoring by creating a Grafana Cloud account and following the configuration steps provided. CIQ enhances Rocky Linux's appeal by offering enterprise support, security, and automation tools, while Grafana Labs promotes a versatile "big tent" philosophy, aiming to provide consistent user experiences across various data sources and environments through its free-tier and scalable plans.
