Yes, the workflow validates HTTP proxy endpoint configurations alongside scope precedence and default behaviors. This validation ensures safe and auditable datasource lifecycle changes across global, project, and dashboard scopes.

What is the best way to override a global datasource for a specific dashboard?▼

Apply dashboard scope precedence to override global or project datasource configurations. This approach allows dashboard-specific configurations while maintaining centralized defaults for Prometheus, Loki, or other supported backends.
