Script

You’ve chosen private data source connect. This hands-on learning path walks you through setting up PDC to securely connect Grafana Cloud to data sources in your private network.

You’ll deploy the PDC agent, configure the connection, and verify that queries work through the tunnel. By the end, you’ll have secure access to private data sources without exposing them to the internet.

You have three options for completing this exercise. You can open it directly in your Grafana Cloud stack for a fully interactive experience. You can try it in the Grafana Play environment if you want to explore without affecting your own stack. Or you can read through the learning path on the website to understand the process before trying it yourself.

When you’re done, click “Path completed” to continue with the course.
