Sending telemetry data to Grafana Cloud — metrics via Prometheus remote write or OTLP, logs via Loki push or Alloy, traces via OTLP to Tempo, profiles via Pyroscope. Covers Alloy-based pipelines, direct SDK/agent integrations, cloud integrations catalog, and credentials management. Use when connecting an application or infrastructure to Grafana Cloud, setting up data ingestion, configuring remote write, or choosing between ingestion methods.

## Install
