Add the Prometheus data source

In this milestone, you add the Prometheus data source.

Grafana provides built-in support for a Prometheus data source.

To add the Prometheus data source, complete the following steps:

  1. Open Connections > Data sources.

  2. Click Add new data source.

  3. Select Prometheus. Grafana creates the data source and opens its settings.

You may see a validation message about the URL field — don’t worry! In the next milestone, you’ll enter the Prometheus server URL.
