+# Migrating from v1.x to v2.x
+
+Grafana 2.x is pretty different from v1.x in that Grafana 2.x has its own backend and its own
+database to store dashboards and users in.
+
+## Import dashboards
+
+### From Elasticsearch
+Start by going to the `Data Sources` view and add your elasticsearch datasource. Specify the elasticsearch
+index name where your Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored, default is `grafana-dash`.

+
+
+### From InfluxDB
+
+Start by going to the `Data Sources` view and add your influxdb datasource. Specify the database
+name where your Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored, default is `grafana`.
+
+
+### Go to Import dashboards view
+
+Go to the `Dashboards` view and click on the dashboards search dropdown. At the bottom of the search dropdown
+you find the `Import` button.
+

+
+
+### Import view
+
+In the Import view you find the section `Migrate dashboards`. Pick the datasource you added (Elasticsearch or InfluxDB)
+and click the `Import` button.
