To configure basic settings for the data source, complete the following steps:
1. Hover the cursor over the **Configuration** (gear) icon.
1. Select **Data Sources**.

| **Default** | Sets whether the data source is pre-selected for new panels. |
| **URL** | The HTTP protocol, IP address, and port of your InfluxDB API. InfluxDB's default API port is 8086. |
| **Min time interval** | _(Optional)_ Refer to [Min time interval]({{< relref "#configure-min-time-interval" >}}). |
| **Max series** | _(Optional)_ Limits the number of series and tables that Grafana processes. Lower this number to prevent abuse, and increase it if you have many small time series and not all are shown. Defaults to 1,000. |
