 You can view metrics collected from Prometheus in OpenSearch Dashboards by first creating a connection from [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) to OpenSearch using the SQL plugin. 
 
-To configure a connection to Prometheus, create a file on your OpenSearch nodes named `datasources.json` containing the Prometheus data source settings. The following examples demonstrate the various Prometheus data source configurations using different authentication methods.
+To configure a connection to Prometheus, you can use the `_datasources` configuration API endpoint. 
 
-No authentication:
+The following example request configures a Prometheus data source with no authentication:

-After configuring Prometheus in the `datasources.json` file, run the following command to load the configuration into the OpenSearch keystore. The configuration is securely stored in the keystore because it contains sensitive credential information.
-
-```
-bin/opensearch-keystore add-file plugins.query.federation.datasources.config datasources.json

-
-If you are updating the keystore during runtime, refresh the keystore using following API command:

-  "secure_settings_password":""
-  
 }
 ```

 After configuring the connection from Prometheus to OpenSearch, Prometheus metrics are displayed in Dashboards in the **Observability** > **Metrics analytics** window, as shown in the following image.
