README
Giant Swarm offers Grafana Alloy App which can be installed in workload clusters.
Here we define the Grafana Alloy chart with its templates and default configuration.
**What is this app?**
Alloy is an [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) collector with support for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles.
More details at https://github.com/grafana/alloy
**Why did we add it?**
We added Alloy in order to be able to improve our Observability platform and provide additional capabilities towards observability data ingestion and transformation.
**Who can use it?**
Anyone with a need to collect observability data and who need an [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) compatible collector.
