A data source is a configured connection to a provider (GA4, Matomo, SQL, REST, Prometheus…). You can create as many as you like — several Prometheus servers, multiple GA4 properties, and so on.
Create a connection
- Insight → Data Sources → New.
- Pick a Provider type. The form shows that provider's settings.
- Enter non-secret settings (base URL, site id, property id…) and paste the API key/token into the secret field — it is encrypted at rest and never shown again.
- Optionally bind the connection to a Site for multi-site setups.
- Click Save, then Test.
Test & status
The Test action checks reachability and auth, then stamps the row with a status, last error and last-checked time, so you can see at a glance which sources are healthy.
Metric addressing
Each connection's metrics are addressed as <slug>:<metric> in dashboards, reports and alerts.
