+#### Connection URL
+
+The data source connection URL should point to a location of a running Pyroscope backend.
+
+**Grafana Cloud Profiles**
+
+Your Grafana Cloud instance automatically includes a fully provisioned data source.
+
+If you are running a self-managed Grafana instance or need to configure an additional Pyroscope data source pointing to Grafana Cloud Profiles, you can find the Pyroscope URL under the **Manage your stack** section for your organization.
+
+**Self-managed Pyroscope backend**
+
+The connection URL for a self-managed Pyroscope backend depends on how Pyroscope is deployed.
+Refer to the steps under [Query profiles in Grafana](https://grafana.com/docs/pyroscope/<PYROSCOPE_VERSION>/deploy-kubernetes/helm/#query-profiles-in-grafana) for more information on how to configure the data source.
+
+If you plan to use the [Explore Profiles](ref:explore-profiles) application and you are running a self-managed Pyroscope backend in microservices mode, the data source connection URL should point to a gateway or proxy that routes requests to the corresponding Pyroscope service.
+Refer to the [Helm ingress configuration](https://github.com/grafana/pyroscope/blob/main/operations/pyroscope/helm/pyroscope/templates/ingress.yaml) for specific routing requirements.

 ## Authentication
 
 Use this section to select an authentication method to access the data source.
