# Migrating from v1.x to v2.x
|
|
|
|
Grafana 2.x is pretty different from v1.x in that Grafana 2.x has its own backend and its own
|
|
database to store dashboards and users in.
|
|
|
|
## Adding Data sources
|
|
|
|
Data sources in Grafana v2.0 are no longer configured via the `config.js` file. That config file is no more.
|
|
You add data sources via UI or via the [HTTP API](../reference/http_api.md). Go the `Data Sources` view via the side menu.
|
|
The side menu can be toggled via the Grafana icon in the top header (to the right).
|
|
|
|
## Importing dashboards
|
|
|
|
### From Elasticsearch
|
|
Start by going to the `Data Sources` view and add your elasticsearch datasource. Specify the elasticsearch
|
|
index name where your Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored, default is `grafana-dash`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### From InfluxDB
|
|
|
|
Start by going to the `Data Sources` view and add your influxdb datasource. Specify the database
|
|
name where your Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored, default is `grafana`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Go to Import dashboards view
|
|
|
|
Go to the `Dashboards` view and click on the dashboards search dropdown. At the bottom of the search dropdown
|
|
you find the `Import` button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Import view
|
|
|
|
In the Import view you find the section `Migrate dashboards`. Pick the datasource you added (Elasticsearch or InfluxDB)
|
|
and click the `Import` button.
