+This guide highlights the key steps for integrating a Spring Boot application with a Grafana dashboard. 
+
+This document only gives a brief overview of what was done at every step to intgrate this technology into our project. For a more comprehensive guide refer to the [Scribe Guide](https://scribehow.com/shared/Integrate_Spring_Boot_with_Grafana_Dashboard__F-HZZjkBSiCKE3c9VD_42w).

+## Steps to Integrate
+
+1. **Connect to Grafana Cloud**:
+   - Navigate to your Grafana Cloud instance 
+   - Select application in the sidebar to connect your Spring-Boot app.
+
+2. **Install Grafana Alloy**:
+   - Create an authentication token for Alloy.
+   - Configure and test the Alloy connection.
+
+3. **Update Your Codebase**:
+   - Add dependencies: `spring-boot-starter-actuator` and `micrometer-registry-prometheus`.
+   - Configure `application.properties` to expose all endpoints.
+   - Update the Alloy configuration file with the correct Spring Boot endpoint.
+
+4. **Restart Alloy**:
