Hello,

I’m trying to configure the Grafana data source. I tried many URLs but none of them are working.

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/crowdsec/original/1X/2550a9cdf6943f756a8e0a786c7ed758a926d040.png) → **HTTP error Not Found**

Has anyone set it up correctly?

Does prometheus expose only /metrics or others endpoints ?

Thanks,  
Regards

Hi @stevenroh,

Crowdsec doesn’t expose prometheus server but prometheus exporter. So you need to have a prometheus server that will scrape crowdsec exporter and then connect grafana to your prometheus server.
