+## Data Plane Aggregator
+
+### Testing queries
+
+1. `custom.ini` changes:
+```ini
+[feature_toggles]
+kubernetesAggregator = true
+dataplaneAggregator = true
+grafanaAPIServerEnsureKubectlAccess = true
+```
+
+2. start grafana:
+```bash
+make run
+```
+
+3. enable aggregation for prometheus data source:
+```bash
+export KUBECONFIG=./data/grafana-apiserver/grafana.kubeconfig
+kubectl apply -f pkg/aggregator/examples/datasource.yml --validate=false
+dataplaneservice.aggregation.grafana.app/v0alpha1.prometheus.grafana.app created
+```
+
+4. edit `pkg/aggregator/examples/datasource-query.json` and update the datasource UID to match the UID of a prometheus data source.
+
+5. execute query (replace `example` with the UID of a prometheus data source):
+```bash
+curl 'http://admin:admin@localhost:3000/apis/prometheus.grafana.app/v0alpha1/namespaces/default/connections/example/query' -X POST -d '@pkg/aggregator/examples/datasource-query.json'
+```
