Windows learning path

You’ve chosen the Windows integration. A great choice for monitoring Windows servers and desktops.

What you’re about to do is a hands-on learning path. This isn’t just reading. You’ll be deploying the Windows integration to your own server, milestone by milestone.

By the end, you’ll have metrics flowing from your Windows host to Grafana Cloud, with pre-built dashboards showing CPU, memory, disk, network, and Windows service health.

We’re starting at milestone 2 since you’ve already covered the “why” of integrations in this course. The journey picks up with selecting your Windows version and then walks you through installing and configuring Grafana Alloy.

Each milestone below expands to show you exactly what to do. Work through them in order, as each milestone builds on the previous one. Take your time, and don’t hesitate to pause if you need to troubleshoot or explore.
