Description

I create a new Prometheus Data source using the Grafana user interface.

I connect to my Prometheus URL, which also uses SSL and has basic auth configured.

Prometheus 2.31 and Ubuntu 22.04 Notes

There are no considerable differences to be aware of as shown and discussed in the video in case you decide to install Prometheus 2.31.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

The video shows the Grafana 7.2.0 Prometheus Metrics browser in Code mode. In Grafana 9.#.#, there is an option to the right, that allows you to switch between the Code and Builder modes. In Grafana 9.#.#, Builder mode is shown as default. You can use either mode to select metrics from your Prometheus server.
