# Charmed Grafana Agent for K8s

> ## Announcing end of life
>
> This charm reaches end of life by the end of 2026. Consider switching to [opentelemetry-collector-k8s](https://charmhub.io/opentelemetry-collector-k8s) for continued support.

`grafana-agent-k8s` is a charm for [Grafana Agent](https://grafana.com/docs/agent/latest/).
It is an essential part of the [COS Lite bundle](https://charmhub.io/cos-lite).

This Charmed Operator handles deployment, scaling, configuration, and Day 2 operations specific to Grafana Agent.

This operator drives the Grafana Agent application, and it can be composed with other operators to deliver a complex application or service.

The charm automatically adds topology labels to all funneled telemetry and rules.
It also comes with built-in alert rules and dashboards for self-monitoring.

This charm is:

* part of the COS Lite bundle
* intended to be used together with [`prometheus-k8s`](https://charmhub.io/prometheus-k8s) and [`loki-k8s`](https://charmhub.io/loki-k8s).
