Query data sources on your Tailscale network from Grafana Cloud
Query data sources on your Tailscale network from Grafana Cloud
We’re excited to share a new integration between Tailscale and Grafana Cloud that lets you query data sources on your Tailscale network directly from your Grafana Cloud stack.
Tailscale allows you to create a secure network (called a tailnet) by directly connecting users, devices, and resources. This new integration adds an ephemeral machine to your tailnet on your behalf. You can add tags to these machines, which allow you to configure Tailscale ACLs and Grants, giving you full control of what your Grafana Cloud stack can access.
Check out the video below to learn more about how it works.
Key benefits of the integration
- Secure and private data access: With Tailscale, querying private data sources can remain private — no endpoints need to be opened to the public internet.
- Simplified setup and reduced operational overhead: Private Data Source Connect with Tailscale is a simpler alternative to running PDC agents. To connect to a data source on a tailnet, you simply need to enter your data source’s tailnet address or machine name using MagicDNS and provide a Tailscale auth key.
- Extended observability with Grafana Cloud: Grafana Cloud offers advanced observability solutions and greater convenience than a self-hosted stack. You can query data sources in private networks from anywhere, making it ideal for distributed teams and remote work.

This integration is in private preview, so for now, we recommend using it only for non-production stacks. You can sign up for the private preview, and we will contact eligible users for onboarding.
