    Enter the key received as described above and click Save.

  4. In Grafana, enable the Grafana image renderer plugin. Use the same query parameters that you see in a URL when viewing a panel in the Grafana Web UI.

Use the Integration

Now that you've configured your integration, add one or more of the integration's actions to an automation, test the automation, and then add the automation to an incident type.
