## Prometheus as a Grafana data source
Grafana allows you to import Prometheus performance metrics as a data source
and render the metrics as graphs and dashboards which is helpful with visualisation.
To add a Prometheus dashboard for a single server GitLab setup:
1. Create a new data source in Grafana.
1. Name your data source i.e GitLab.
1. Select `Prometheus` in the type drop down.
1. Add your Prometheus listen address as the URL and set access to `Browser`.
1. Set the HTTP method to `GET`.
1. Save & Test your configuration to verify that it works.
