Add a data source
Select a plugin, validate its connection, and make it available to topologies.
A data source represents a connection to an external system or Manual input. Its plugin capabilities determine whether it supplies topology, hosts, metrics, alerts, or discovery.
Add a source
- Sign in as an administrator, open Data Sources, and select Add Data Source.
- Select the plugin to connect.
- Enter Name and the plugin-specific connection fields, then select Create.
- Use Test in the list to verify the connection.
- Connect the data source from a topology’s Sources page.
Required fields, secrets, defaults, and choices are generated from each plugin descriptor into both the form and the plugin reference. This guide does not duplicate their configuration tables.
If a connection fails, check that the Server can reach the URL, the API token scope, TLS certificates, and permissions in the external service. Disable TLS verification only on a trusted network.
