What the Grafana integration enables

​
Finding your Prometheus datasource UID

Obsy needs the UID of your Prometheus datasource to run PromQL queries.
  1. In Grafana, go to Connections → Data sources.
  2. Click your Prometheus or Mimir datasource.
  3. The UID is in the browser URL: grafana.net/connections/datasources/edit/{UID}.
Copy this value and enter it in the Prometheus datasource UID field when connecting.

​
Updating credentials

  1. Go to Integrations → Grafana card.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Update the instance URL, service account token, or datasource UID.
  4. Click Save.

​
OTel metric naming in Grafana (PromQL)

Grafana uses standard Prometheus naming, so keep the _total suffix:
This is the opposite of Datadog. Obsy handles this automatically — the correct query format is used based on which platform is selected.

​
Setting up alert webhooks

Grafana uses Contact Points for alert routing. See Grafana alerts for step-by-step setup. Unlike Datadog, Obsy cannot auto-register a webhook in Grafana — you configure it manually in Alerting → Contact points.
