Grafana 10 introduces Private Data Source Connect (PDC), a feature that allows Grafana Cloud users to securely monitor and query data sources within private networks, addressing the challenge of network security that arises when connecting to databases like MySQL or Elasticsearch within on-prem infrastructures or virtual private clouds. PDC, now generally available to all Grafana Cloud users, including those on the free tier, provides a secure connection via SOCKS over SSH, enabling users to deploy a lightweight agent on their network to connect with Grafana Cloud while maintaining control over the network connection. This feature, announced at GrafanaCON 2023, is easy to set up and manage, supporting industry-standard security protocols and working across various public cloud vendors. Users can connect their Grafana Cloud stack to one private network with multiple data sources, and while currently limited to a subset of data sources, future developments will expand its capabilities.
