Connect Your Metrics

As part of Coralogix’s metrics offering, we support the querying of metric data through the most prevalent time-series query language – PromQL. This allows you to use Coralogix as your metrics backend and add it as a Prometheus data source to your Grafana instance.

You will learn how to do this and update existing dashboards without any change to the queries or syntax.

Log in to Grafana and click on the gear icon, and then click add source.

1. Click the blue button ADD a Source.
