Monitoring Temporal Cloud Workflows with Grafana Cloud

Ishan Jain, a Senior Developer Experience Engineer at Grafana Labs, explains how the new Temporal Cloud integration for Grafana Cloud enhances the ability to visualize, monitor, and alert on Temporal Workflows' health. This integration simplifies the process by providing deep visibility into Executions, Task Queues, and capacity usage without requiring additional infrastructure, leveraging Grafana Cloud's comprehensive observability platform that combines metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts. The integration offers expanded metrics, prebuilt dashboards, cost control, and AI-assisted exploration features, allowing users to track service latency, monitor Task Queue backlogs, and identify bottlenecks efficiently. It works by scraping metrics from Temporal Cloud’s OpenMetrics endpoint and pushing them into Grafana Cloud, where metrics are automatically labeled for easy organization. Setting up this integration is straightforward and available to all Grafana Cloud users, significantly streamlining the management of Temporal Cloud workloads.
