# InfluxDB Data Source - Native Plugin
# InfluxDB data source
Grafana ships with **built in** support for InfluxDB (> 0.9.x).
Grafana ships with built-in support for InfluxDB releases >0.9.x.
There are currently two separate data sources for InfluxDB in Grafana: InfluxDB 0.8.x and the latest InfluxDB release. The API and capabilities of latest (> 0.9.x) InfluxDB are completely different from InfluxDB 0.8.x which is why Grafana handles them as different data sources.
There are separate data sources for InfluxDB in Grafana: the latest InfluxDB release and [InfluxDB 0.8.x](https://grafana.com/plugins/grafana-influxdb-08-datasource) that Grafana maintains support for as a convenience for its existing users. InfluxDB no longer maintains release 0.8.
InfluxDB 0.8 is no longer maintained by InfluxDB Inc, but we provide support as a convenience to existing users. You can find it [here](https://grafana.com/plugins/grafana-influxdb-08-datasource).
The API and capabilities of the latest release of InfluxDB are completely different from those of InfluxDB 0.8.x, which is why Grafana handles them as different data sources.
