What Traversal reads
- Metrics — time-series data via PromQL instant and range queries
- Labels — label names and values used to scope queries to the right services and environments
Setup
- Direct connection (recommended)
- Via Grafana
Use this if your Mimir instance is publicly accessible and you want to connect to it independently of Grafana.
Find your Mimir URL
Use your Mimir HTTP API endpoint. The URL should include the
/prometheus path, e.g. https://mimir.yourcompany.com/prometheus.Configure authentication (if required)
Mimir has no built-in authentication — credentials depend on what proxy or gateway sits in front of your Mimir instance. Traversal supports bearer token or basic auth. If your Mimir instance is unauthenticated, leave the credentials blank.
Note your org ID (multi-tenant only)
If your Mimir deployment uses multi-tenant, find your tenant/org ID. Traversal sends it as the
X-Scope-OrgID header on every request.
