Step 3 - Input Datto API Key

You'll now need to enter the appropriate information.

1. Name: Name the datasource.  This can be Datto REST or anything you'd like
2. Public API key: Your Datto API public key.
3. Private API Key: Your Datto API private key.

Step 4 - Test Connection

Make sure to test the connection.  If successful, save the connection. 

Once you’ve saved the connection then the datasets and gauges will be added to your account. You are now set!  

Dashboards, reports, datasets, and gauges are added to your account after the datasource is saved. They start syncing immediately and typically complete syncing after 20-30 minutes. Deep linking is enabled automatically.
