# Grafana TestData DB
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this data source is to make it easier to create fake data for any panel.
|
|
Using `TestData DB` you can build your own time series and have any panel render it.
|
|
This makes it much easier to verify functionality since the data can be shared very easily.
|
|
|
|
## Enable
|
|
|
|
The `TestData DB` data source is not enabled by default. To enable it:
|
|
|
|
1. In the **Configuration** menu (small gear on the left side of the screen), click **Data Sources**.
|
|
1. Click **Add Data Source**.
|
|
1. Search and click `TestData DB`.
|
|
1. Click **Save & Test** to enable it.
|
|
|
|
## Create mock data.
|
|
|
|
Once `TestData DB` 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, `TestData DB` distributes them evenly based on the time range of your query.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dashboards
|
|
|
|
`TestData DB` also contains some dashboards with examples.
|
|
1. Click **Configuration** > **Data Sources** > **TestData DB** > **Dashboards**.
|
|
1. **Import** the **Simple Streaming Example** dashboard.
|
|
|
|
### Commit updates to the dashboards
|
|
|
|
To submit a change to one of the current dashboards bundled with `TestData DB`, 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 advise 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.
