Grafana Loki Setup Guide

Follow our step-by-step setup guide to integrate Fivetran logs into your Grafana account.

Prerequisites

To connect Grafana to Fivetran, you need a Grafana account.

You have two ways to find your Grafana account details:

Option A: Expand for instructions

Sign in to the Grafana Cloud Portal.
Under Manage your Grafana Cloud stack, select Details.
In the list of services, under Loki, click Details. Make a note of the following information:
- Your username in the Name field, between the grafanacloud- and -logs strings (i.e., grafanacloud-your_username-logs)
- Your URL, usually in the https://logs-prod-xxx.grafana.net format
- Your user/tenant ID in the User field

Option B: Expand for instructions

In your Grafana instance, go to Connections > Data source in the left menu.
Find your Loki datasource. By default, the name will be in the grafanacloud-your_username-logs format.
Open the datasource settings. Make a note of the following information:
- Your username in the Name field, between the grafanacloud- and -logs strings (i.e., grafanacloud-your_username-logs)
- Your URL, usually in the https://logs-prod-xxx.grafana.net format
- Your user/tenant ID in the User field

In Grafana, go to Administration > Users and access > Cloud access policies.
Click Create access policy.
Enter a descriptive name for the policy.
Enable write permissions for the logs scope.
Click Create.
In the list of access policies, find the one you just created and click Add token.
Name your token and click Create. Make a note of the generated token. You will need it to configure Fivetran.

Go to the external log setup form.
Enter your Grafana username, URL, and tenant ID obtained in the Find Grafana account details step.
Enter the access token created in the Generate access token step.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your logs to Grafana Loki.

Fivetran performs the Connect to Grafana Loki setup test to check service accessibility and the credentials you provided in the setup form.
