For all available configuration options, refer to the [Grafana provider data source resource documentation](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/grafana/grafana/latest/docs/resources/data_source).
## Next steps
After you configure the Google Cloud Monitoring data source, you can:
- [Query GCP metrics](ref:query-editor) using the visual Builder, MQL, SLO, or PromQL query types.
- [Create template variables](ref:template-variables) for dynamic, reusable dashboards.
- [Add annotations](ref:annotations) to overlay GCP events on your graphs.
- [Set up alerting](ref:alerting) to receive notifications based on GCP metrics and SLOs.
- [Explore your data](ref:explore) to investigate metrics without building a dashboard.
- [Import pre-configured dashboards](ref:gcm-index) for popular GCP services.
