## Overview
|
||
|
||
A Grafana dashboard is a set of one or more panels that provide an at-a-glance view of related information. These panels are the basic building block in Grafana dashboards, and they're created using components that query and transform raw data from a data source into charts, graphs, and other visualizations.
|
||
|
||
A data source can be an SQL database, Grafana Loki, Grafana Mimir, or a JSON-based API. It can even be a basic CSV file. Queries allow you to reduce the entirety of your data to a specific dataset, providing a more manageable visualization. Data source plugins take a query you want answered, retrieve the data from the data source, and reconcile the differences between the data model of the data source and the data model of Grafana dashboards.
|
||
|
||
The growing suite of Grafana visualizations, ranging from time series graphs to heatmaps to cutting-edge 3D charts, provide you several different ways to present your data within a panel, depending on what best suits the data and your needs. If the data format in a visualization doesn’t meet your requirements, you can apply a transformation that manipulates the data returned by a query.
|
||
|
||
With 150+ data source plugins, you can unify all your data sources into a single dashboard to streamline data monitoring and troubleshooting. With Grafana, you can translate, transform, and visualize data in flexible and versatile dashboards.
