For more details, check out our What’s New and data visualization docs.
PDC support for more data sources
Generally available in Grafana Cloud
With Private Data Source Connect (PDC), you can create a private, encrypted tunnel between your Grafana Cloud stack and data sources running inside private networks, VPCs, or on-premises environments.
With Grafana 13.1, we’ve added PDC support for three new data sources: MQTT, GitHub, and IBM Db2.
With this update, you can connect Grafana Cloud to MQTT brokers for real-time IoT and sensor data; GitHub Enterprise Server instances for source control and project metrics; and IBM Db2 databases running on-premises or in a private cloud.
To get started, deploy a PDC agent inside your private network, then configure your data source in Grafana Cloud using its internal DNS name. To learn more, refer to the Private Data Source Connect learning path.
