Each Last9 Cluster comes with a Read URL which needs to be used when creating
a Data Source in Grafana.

Here’s an example of creating a Data Source using the Read URL. You can grab the
Read URL either:

- While creating your cluster → Read Data → Bring Your Own Visualization
- Or, by going to the Last9 Cluster → Settings → Read Data → Bring Your Own
  Visualization

:::note
Last9 Read URL mandates authenticated access. Create a Read Token for your
cluster and use it as `password`. Use the cluster id as `user`.
Add the `user` and `password` in the `Basic Auth Details`
section while creating data source in Grafana.
:::

Make sure that the status of the data source appears as all ✅.
