You get to a view in which all the data sources that have already been created are listed. If you haven't integrated one yet, this view is empty. Now you have to click on the "Add Data Source" button on the right side.
Various database systems can be seen in the next mask. At this point you have to select the database you want to integrate. In our case, we select "PostgreSQL", also known as Postgres for short. If you don't see Postgres at first glance, you can search for the data source in the search bar. If your data source is not part of the Grafana standard program, there are numerous plugins that allow you to add the database.

If Postgres has been selected, you must then enter the exact settings of your database. Depending on your requirements, you can adjust the settings at any time. However, the information required to establish a connection to the database are essential.
