Enter Prometheus data source authentication credentials
Every time Grafana Cloud queries your Prometheus data source, the security settings you have configured for that data source dictate whether the query can successfully execute and retrieve data from the Prometheus database.
Your Prometheus instance’s security configuration may be basic, use OAuth, or have no security at all.
Did you know? Authentication is set up on the Prometheus server during its initial configuration. To complete this step, you need to know which type of authentication it uses and have the corresponding credentials.
If you’ve configured Prometheus to require authentication, complete the following steps:
In the Authentication method dropdown, select a method of authentication.
For example: Basic authentication.
For basic authentication, enter the username and password.
In the next step of your journey, you’ll select a PDC agent.
