# Grafana TestData
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this data sources is to make it easier to create fake data for any panel.
|
|
Using `Grafana TestData` you can build your own time series and have any panel render it.
|
|
This make is much easier to verify functionally since the data can be shared very
|
|
|
|
## Enable
|
|
|
|
`Grafana TestData` is not enabled by default. To enable it you have to go to `/plugins/testdata/edit` and click the enable button to enable.
|
|
|
|
## Create mock data.
|
|
|
|
Once `Grafana TestData` is enabled you can use it as a data source in any metric panel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## CSV
|
|
|
|
The comma separated values scenario is the most powerful one since it lets you create any kind of graph you like.
|
|
Once you provided the numbers `Grafana TestData` will distribute them evenly based on the time range of your query.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dashboards
|
|
|
|
`Grafana TestData` also contains some dashboards with example. `/plugins/testdata/edit`
|
|
|
|
### Commit updates to the dashboards
|
|
|
|
If you want to submit a change to one of the current dashboards bundled with `Grafana TestData` you have to update the revision property.
|
|
Otherwise the dashboard will not be updated automatically for other Grafana users.
|
|
|
|
## Using test data in issues
|
|
|
|
If you post an issue on github regarding time series data or rendering of time series data we strongly advice you to use this data source to replicate the data.
|
|
That makes it much easier for the developers to replicate and solve the issue you have.
