Congratulations, you have gotten started with Grafana! You have a dashboard and are displaying results. Feel free to experiment with what you have built, continue on to add another data source, or explore [Next steps](#next-steps).
## Add a data source

Before you create your first real dashboard, you need to add your data source.
First move your cursor to the cog on the side menu which will show you the configuration menu. If the side menu is not visible click the Grafana icon in the upper left corner. The first item on the configuration menu is data sources, click on that and you'll be taken to the data sources page where you can add and edit data sources. You can also simply click the cog.
Click Add data source and you will come to the settings page of your new data source.

First, give the data source a Name and then select which Type of data source you'll want to create, see [Supported data sources]({{< relref "../features/datasources/#supported-data-sources/" >}}) for more information and how to configure your data source.

After you have configured your data source you are ready to save and test.
## Next steps
There is so much you can do in Grafana, it can be hard to know where to begin. Your next steps will be different depending on whether you are using Grafana just for yourself or if you are an administrating Grafana for an organization.
Different user types will have different interests. Some suggestions are listed below, or refer to [What is Grafana?]({{< relref "what-is-grafana.md" >}}) for a general overview of Grafana features.
