# 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 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.

|
|
|
|
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:
