Estimated time: 1 min

Configure the connection URL

The connection URL tells Grafana where to send trace queries. The format depends on your Tempo environment.

Use the URL format that matches your backend:

EnvironmentURL formatExample
Self-managed Tempo (HTTP)http://<host>:3200http://tempo:3200
Grafana Cloud Traceshttps://tempo-<zone>.grafana.net/tempohttps://tempo-prod-01-eu-west-0.grafana.net/tempo
Grafana Enterprise TracesURL of your GET gatewayhttps://get.example.com/tempo

To configure the connection URL, complete the following step:

  1. In the URL field under the Connection section, enter the query URL for your Tempo backend.

    For example, for Grafana Cloud Traces, enter a URL like https://tempo-prod-01-eu-west-0.grafana.net/tempo. For self-managed Tempo, enter a URL like http://tempo:3200.

    Tip: The URLs above are for querying traces from Grafana. To send traces to Tempo (OTLP endpoints), refer to Set up tracing.

In the next milestone, you configure authentication for the connection.
