To initiate the integration, you'll need to share your Grafana Cloud API Key or Access Policy / Token, instance ID, and zone with an Embrace onboarding specialist.

Pulling your Grafana Cloud API Key or Access Policy / Token​

Grafana Cloud migrated from API Keys to Access Policies. It depends on your Grafana Cloud version the information that you need to share with us.

Only Grafana.com administrators can create or delete API Keys and Access Policies. See Grafana Cloud roles and permissions for more information.
