Correlations
You can create interactive links for Explore visualizations to run queries related to presented data by setting up Correlations.
A correlation defines how data in one [data source]({{< relref "../../datasources" >}}) is used to query data in another data source. Some examples:
- an application name returned in a logs data source can be used to query metrics related to that application in a metrics data source, or
- a user name returned by an SQL data source can be used to query logs related to that particular user in a logs data source
[Explore]({{< relref "../../explore" >}}) takes user-defined correlations to display links inside the visualizations. You can click on a link to run the related query and see results in [Explore Split View]({{< relref "../../explore#split-and-compare" >}}).
Explore visualizations that currently support showing links based on correlations:
- [Logs Panel]({{< relref "./use-correlations-in-visualizations#correlations-in-logs-panel">}})
- [Table]({{< relref "./use-correlations-in-visualizations#correlations-in-table">}})
You can configure correlations using [provisioning]({{< relref "../provisioning" >}}), the Administration > Correlation page in Grafana or directly in [Explore]({{< relref "../../explore/correlations-editor-in-explore" >}}).
{{% admonition type="note" %}}
Correlations are available in Grafana 10.0+ as an opt-in beta feature.
Modify the Grafana [configuration file]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#configuration-file-location" >}}) to enable the correlations [feature toggle]({{< relref "../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana#feature_toggles" >}}) to use it.
