# Tempo data source
Grafana ships with built-in support for [Tempo](https://grafana.com/docs/tempo/latest/), a high-volume, minimal-dependency trace storage, open source tracing solution from Grafana Labs. This topic explains configuration and queries specific to the Tempo data source.
For instructions on how to add a data source to Grafana, refer to the [administration documentation][data-source-management].
Only users with the organization administrator role can add data sources.
Administrators can also [configure the data source via YAML][configure-tempo-data-source] with Grafana's provisioning system.
This video explains how to add data sources, including Loki, Tempo, and Mimir, to Grafana and Grafana Cloud. Tempo data source set up starts at 4:58 in the video.
{{< youtube id="cqHO0oYW6Ic" start="298" >}}
Once you've added the data source, you can [configure it]({{< relref "./configure-tempo-data-source/" >}}) so that your Grafana instance's users can create queries in its [query editor]({{< relref "./query-editor/" >}}) when they [build dashboards][build-dashboards] and use [Explore][explore].
