Building dashboards

This documentation topic is designed for Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Working in Grafana version 9.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see Working in Grafana version 8.

After you create a Grafana workspace and sign in, you can create dashboards and modify settings to suit your needs. A dashboard is made up of panels with visualizations. Each panel has a query associated with it, to pull data from one of your Connect to data sources.

You can create more interactive and dynamic dashboards by adding and using variables. Instead of hard-coding the server, application, or other names in your metric queries, you can use variables in their place.
