# Add a data source
|
|
|
|
Before you can create your first dashboard, you need to add your data source.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Only users with the organization Admin role can add data sources.
|
|
|
|
To add a data source:
|
|
|
|
1. Move your cursor to the cog icon on the side menu which will show the configuration options.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v75/sidemenu-datasource-7-5.png" max-width="150px" class="docs-image--no-shadow">}}
|
|
|
|
1. Click on **Data sources**. The data sources page opens showing a list of previously configured data sources for the Grafana instance.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Add data source** to see a list of all supported data sources.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v75/add-data-source-7-5.png" max-width="600px" class="docs-image--no-shadow">}}
|
|
|
|
1. Search for a specific data source by entering the name in the search dialog. Or you can scroll through supported data sources grouped into time series, logging, tracing and other categories.
|
|
|
|
1. Move the cursor over the data source you want to add.
|
|
|
|
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/v75/select-data-source-7-5.png" max-width="700px" class="docs-image--no-shadow">}}
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Select**. The data source configuration page opens.
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the data source following instructions specific to that data source. See [Data sources]({{< relref "../administration/data-source-management/_index.md" >}}) for links to configuration instructions for all supported data sources.
