# Add a query
|
||||
|
||||
A query returns data that Grafana visualizes in dashboards. When you create a panel, Grafana automatically selects the default data source.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before you begin
|
||||
|
||||
- [Add a data source](../../../datasources/add-a-data-source).
|
||||
- Ensure that you know the query language of the data source.
|
||||
- [Add a panel]({{< relref "../working-with-panels/add-panel.md" >}}).
|
||||
|
||||
**To add a query**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Edit the panel to which you are adding a query.
|
||||
1. Click the **Query** tab.
|
||||
1. Click the **Data source** drop-down menu and select a data source.
|
||||
1. Click **Query options** to configure the maximum number of data points returned by the query and how frequently you want the query to request data from the data source.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about query options, refer to [Reference: Query options]({{< relref "../reference-query-options.md" >}}).
|
||||
|
||||
1. Write the query.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Apply**.
|
||||
|
||||
The system queries the data source and presents the data in the visualization.
