Monitor key metrics and visitor demographics in NGINX with the new Grafana Cloud integration

Grafana Cloud has introduced a new integration with NGINX that enhances observability by combining metrics, logs, and traces with Grafana, using Loki for log processing. This integration allows users to create a custom JSON access log for visualizing key metrics such as traffic, error rates, and visitor demographics without replacing existing logs. For those without an easily reconfigurable NGINX deployment, a demo application is available to set up the necessary components, including a sample HTML5 application and GeoIP2 IP address geocoding, hosted on a VPS or cloud provider. The integration is accessible to Grafana Cloud users, with both free and paid plans available, encouraging users to explore monitoring options and engage with the Grafana Community for further information and support.
