[ Feature Request ] add support for grafana cloud pdc agents

[i2blind]

our org is using trino data source with a workaround using nginx proxy, however its not very performance. Possibly due to some nginx magic changing the apparent host:port in the URL in flight.

It would be greatly helpful if support for private datasource connect (pdc) agents was added to better support grafana cloud users.

Thanks

I don't know what a private data source connect agent is. Can you elaborate and include some references? Also, please note it's unlikely anyone would work on a feature request. It's best to submit a pull request yourself.

Here is some reference

its a openssh proxy tunnel essentially.
