Configure gcx authentication by establishing context-based connections to Grafana instances. You must provide a server URL along with either an API token or a user/password combination, plus optional TLS settings to verify connectivity.

Yes, you can use environment variables to override context settings for CI/CD flows. This allows automated pipelines to establish Grafana connections without manual configuration by injecting server URLs and authentication tokens dynamically.

Grafana instances support token-based authentication and user/password credentials. You must supply one of these methods alongside the server URL when configuring a context, with optional TLS settings for secure connections.

Context-based configuration allows you to define multiple Grafana server profiles and set an active context. This switches the current connection target, enabling seamless transitions between Cloud, on-prem, and CI/CD environments.

Yes, custom TLS settings are supported when establishing connections to on-prem Grafana deployments. You can configure these optional security parameters alongside the required server URL and authentication credentials to ensure secure connectivity.

First-time setup troubleshooting involves verifying your server URL, checking authentication credentials, and confirming TLS settings. The configuration workflow validates connectivity to ensure your active context successfully reaches the target Grafana instance.
