# Migrating from older versions
Normally new versions of Grafana are backward compatible. Any changes to database or dashboard schema will
be automatically migrated when Grafana-server start up without any user action required.
# Migrating from v1.x to v2.x
Grafana 2.0 represents a major update to Grafana. It brings new
capabilities, many of which are enabled by its new back-end server and
integrated database.
The new back-end lays a solid foundation that we hope to build on over
the coming months. For the 2.0 release, it enables authentication as
well as server-side sharing and rendering.
We've attempted to provide a smooth migration path for v1.9 users to
migrate to Grafana 2.0.
## Adding Data sources
The `config.js` file has been deprecated. Data sources are now managed via
the UI or HTTP API. Manage your organizations data sources by clicking on the `Data Sources` menu on the
side menu (which can be toggled via the Grafana icon in the upper left
of your browser).
From here, you can add any Graphite, InfluxDB, elasticsearch, and
OpenTSDB data sources that you were using with Grafana 1.x. Grafana 2.0
can be configured to communicate with your data source using a back-end
mode which can eliminate many CORS-related issues, as well as provide
more secure authentication to your data sources.
> *Note* When you add your data sources please name them exactly as you
> named them in `config.js` in Grafana 1.x. That name is referenced by
> panels, annotation and template queries. That way when you import
> your old dashboard they will work without any changes.
## Importing your existing dashboards
Grafana 2.0 now has integrated dashboard storage engine that can be
configured to use an internal sqlite3 database, MySQL, or Postgres. This
eliminates the need to use Elasticsearch for dashboard storage for
Graphite users. Grafana 2.0 does not support storing dashboards in
InfluxDB.
You can seamlessly import your existing dashboards.
### Importing dashboards from Elasticsearch
Start by going to the `Data Sources` view (via the side menu), and make
sure your Elasticsearch data source is added. Specify the Elasticsearch
index name where your existing Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored
(the default is `grafana-dash`).

### Importing dashboards from InfluxDB
Start by going to the `Data Sources` view (via the side menu), and make
sure your InfluxDB data source is added. Specify the database name where
your Grafana v1.x dashboards are stored, the default is `grafana`.
### Go to Import dashboards view
Go to the `Dashboards` view and click on the dashboards search drop
down. Click the `Import` button at the bottom of the search drop down.

### Import view
In the Import view you find the section `Migrate dashboards`. Pick the
data source you added (from Elasticsearch or InfluxDB), and click the
`Import` button.
![](/img/docs/v2/migrate_dashboards.jpg)
Your dashboards should be automatically imported into the Grafana 2.0
back-end.
Dashboards will no longer be stored in your previous Elasticsearch or
InfluxDB databases.
### Invite your team

## Upgrading from 2.x
We are not aware of any issues upgrading directly from 2.x to 4.x but to be on the safe side go via 3.x => 4.x.
## Upgrading to v5.0
The dashboard grid layout engine has changed. All dashboards will be automatically upgraded to new positioning system when you load them in v5. Dashboards saved in v5 will not work in older versions of Grafana. Some external panel plugins might need to be updated to work properly.
