According to the document, the data is retrieved from the ClearPass Insight API. Could you please clarify how it has been configured for API ?

Hello,
Could you share which of the following options your colleague who set it up has enabled?
1-Syslog
2-PostgreSQL
3-REST API
The clearest way to quickly find which management is being used is to look under Grafana > settings > data sources.
On the ClearPass side, you can find it under Administration > External Servers > Syslog Targets.
If the definitions are set up to be syslog servers, they may have been configured with the following logic:
The client connects to the network > Cisco WLC (or Aruba AP) sends RADIUS Auth + Accounting (Start / Interim-Update / Stop) packets to ClearPass.
ClearPass logs these events in Access Tracker.
ClearPass sends the text of these events as syslog to a collector (Elasticsearch, etc.) according to the Log Export / Syslog Target definitions.
Grafana makes that collector a Data Source and generates panels/metrics from the logs.
In other words, Grafana does not read directly from ClearPass; it reads through the syslog collector in between.

In our environment, we are using ClearPass and APs managed through Aruba Central, along with Cisco WLC. Currently, active sessions are being monitored via Grafana. I would like to understand how the integration between Grafana and ClearPass has been set up, as the person who originally configured it has left the organization.Where I can see the configuration in clearpass
