Feedback

Gaurav Soni has found that a troubleshooting command did not help him address a customer concern, likely because it hasn't been updated for the linux integration which now uses Alloy. slack link: https://raintank-corp.slack.com/archives/C5PG2JK8W/p1714138195021599

While troubleshooting Alloy configuration and following troubleshooting guidance: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/install-troubleshoot-linux/#no-metrics-were-found-for-this-integration it seems to give me a wrong command[probably old as UI recommend using Alloy now]:

admin@ip-172-31-29-110:~/alloy$ journalctl -u grafana-agent.service -n 100 --no-pager
-- No entries --
This command resulted in no journal entries being shown.
I expected that following troubleshooting guidance would give me helpful diagnostic information.
Here's what gave me useful information:
admin@ip-172-31-29-110:~/alloy$ journalctl -u alloy -n 100 --no-pager

Can we get the doc updated? (edited)

Integrations team has this on their ToDo list and updates are pending.

Looks like this has received an update now... https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/troubleshoot/install-troubleshoot-linux-alloy/ is the new URL

@grvsoni does this cover what you were asking for?
