# Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this journey! Job well done!

We hope you’ve enjoyed traveling with us as you:

- Gathered the URL, credentials, and tenant ID for your Loki backend
- Added and named a new Loki data source in Grafana Cloud
- Configured the connection URL for your Loki environment
- Selected an authentication method and entered credentials
- Successfully saved and tested the data source connection
- Verified log data by running a LogQL query in Explore
