  3. From the configuration page of the plugin, enable the plugin by clicking on the Enable plugin button.
  4. Provide the necessary API settings so that the plugin can connect to your cluster:
  • Access Token: Enter the admin-scoped access token that you generated when setting up your GEM cluster.
  • Enterprise Metrics URL: Enter the URL of your GEM cluster. For single-process clusters, this is any node in the cluster. For microservice deployments, this URL is the GEM gateway.
