# Grafana Ansible collection
The [Grafana Ansible collection](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/grafana/grafana/) provides configuration management resources for Grafana. You can use it to manage resources such as dashboards, Cloud stacks, folders, and more.
The [Grafana Ansible collection](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/grafana/grafana/) provides configuration management resources for Grafana. You can use it to manage:
The collection also houses the [Grafana Agent role](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/tree/main/roles/grafana_agent) which can be used to deploy and manage Grafana Agent across various Linux machines.
- Grafana Cloud stacks
- Dashboards
- Data sources
- Folders
- Alerting contact points
- Notification policies
- API keys
If your resources aren't currently available in the Grafana Ansible collection, you can manage them on Grafana Cloud programmatically by writing Ansible playbooks that use the [Ansible's built-in URI module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/uri_module.html) to call the [HTTP APIs](/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/) to manage resources for the Grafana Cloud portal, as well as those within a stack.
## Learn more
Refer to [Create and manage a Grafana Cloud stack using Ansible](ansible-cloud-stack/) to learn how to create a Grafana Cloud stack and add a data source and dashboard using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/).

## Grafana Agent (deprecated)
{{< docs/shared lookup="agent-deprecation.md" source="alloy" version="next" >}}
For resources currently not available in the Grafana Ansible collection, you can manage those resources on Grafana Cloud programmatically by writing Ansible playbooks that use the [Ansible's builtin uri module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/builtin/uri_module.html) to call the [HTTP APIs](/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/) to manage resources for the Grafana Cloud portal, as well as those within a stack.
Use the following guides to get started using Ansible to manage your Grafana Cloud stack:
| Topic | Description |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [Create and manage a Grafana Cloud stack using Ansible](ansible-cloud-stack/) | Describes how to create a Grafana Cloud stack and add a data source and dashboard using [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/). |
| [Install Grafana Agent on a Linux host using Ansible](ansible-grafana-agent-linux/) | Describes how to install the Grafana Agent on a Linux node using Ansible and use it to push logs to Grafana Cloud. |
| [Monitor multiple Linux hosts with Grafana Agent Role](ansible-multiple-agents/) | Describes how to use the Grafana Ansible collection to manage agents across multiple Linux hosts. |
The Ansible collection also houses [Grafana Agent role](https://github.com/grafana/grafana-ansible-collection/tree/main/roles/grafana_agent), which is now deprecated.
