# Cognite Data Source for Grafana

> Connect a Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) project as a data source and use Grafana to query, transform, and visualize your data.

<Info>
  We support <span translate="no">Grafana Pro</span>, <span translate="no">Advanced</span>, and <span translate="no">Enterprise</span>. You can also use the <span translate="no">Cognite Data Source for Grafana</span> on <span translate="no">Grafana</span> instances that you host yourself.
</Info>

## Get started

Choose a guide below to connect your data and build panels.

<Info>
  Which query tabs appear in your <span translate="no">Grafana</span> dashboard is controlled by **feature flags** in the data source settings. CDM features like **CogniteTimeSeries** and **Data models** can be disabled by default, while legacy tabs are typically enabled. If you don't see a tab, check the data source settings and enable the relevant feature flag.
