Test connection to the JSON endpoint

In this milestone, you can check that Grafana Cloud can reach the JSON endpoint.

To test the connection to the JSON endpoint, complete the following steps:

  1. On the data source left navigation, click Health.

  2. Click the Enable custom health check toggle.

  3. Enter the JSON endpoint URL.

    For example, enter https://thingspeak.mathworks.com/channels/38629/feed.json. This JSON endpoint is available to the public and we’ll use it in this journey, but you should use a URL that returns the data you want to use.

  4. Click Save & Test.

    You should receive a Health check successful message.

In the next milestone you select a private data source connect agent.

Were you successful?
