Grafana Alloy in one click.

Grafana Alloy is an opentelemetry collector and prometheus scraper you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.

What is Grafana Alloy?

Grafana Alloy is an OpenTelemetry-compatible observability pipeline agent that collects, transforms, and forwards metrics, logs, and traces. It is the successor to Grafana Agent and supports native Prometheus scraping.

Run Grafana Alloy in Even

Even Stacks launches Grafana Alloy as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Grafana Alloy in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 12345, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://alloy.localhost.

Drive Grafana Alloy with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Grafana Alloy directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, drive its UI in the browser pane, and read its logs. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Grafana Alloy and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Open http://localhost:12345 to inspect active pipeline components, scrape targets, and internal metrics. Configure collection in config.alloy mounted into the container; send a POST to /-/reload for a hot reload without restarting. Alloy scrapes Prometheus-compatible endpoints and forwards data to configured backends such as Loki or Mimir.
