2. In Grafana, move your mouse to the cog on the side menu. Click on Configuration > Data Sources

   

3. Click the Add data source button

   

4. Find the Prometheus datasource type and click Select

   

5. In Monitor Mountain Environments page navigate to Environment > Namespace then find Prometheus Query URL and copy the URL.

   

6. Fill in the following fields

   Field	Value
   Name	Monitor Mountain (namespace name)
   URL	They URL copied in step 5
   User	This can be any name. A good practice is to use the same name you created for the Monitor Mountain API Token in step 1
