Grafana

Connecting NeuBird to your Grafana account enables collection of application and infrastructure telemetry, including metrics, traces, and logs.

Note: When you add a Grafana connection, it automatically enables Loki support. NeuBird uses the configured Grafana authentication to communicate with Loki, so no additional Loki credentials are required.
