In this milestone, you enter the Prometheus server URL. This URL is the address of the machine where Prometheus collects data.

In the Prometheus server URL field, enter your Prometheus server address.

Private data source connect (PDC) enables connection requests to resolve to this private address.

💡 Did you know? If you aren’t using PDC, you must enter a public IP or a fully qualified domain name for the address to resolve over the public network.
