# CSV Import
|
||
|
|

## Grafana
|
||
|
|
|

|

In Grafana there is a [csv-datasrouce plugin](https://grafana.github.io/grafana-csv-datasource/). This plug let you visualize data from any URL that returns CSV data, such as REST APIs or static file servers. You can even load data from a local file path. But it is *not* importing CSV from Grafana into a data source (like InfluxDB).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> For visualizing CSV data this is enough. Why should you duplicate data if the true data source is a CSV file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I added this plugin to our Grafana installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> I just mounted the whole [Grafana directory](../grafana/) into our Docker-Compose setup. Maybe we have to come up with a better solution.

Garafana is running on [localhost on port 3000 with credentials admin:admin](http://localhost:3000). So let's get there to add the CSV data source.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> I also added the CSV file to this repository and mounted the whole whole [Grafana directory](../grafana/) into our Docker-Compose setup. So the CSV file is also in, there. Maybe we have to come up with a better solution..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As the CSV is reachable by Grafana, you can crate a data source, there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> grafana.ini is also mounted from [this repository](../grafana.ini). So local data mode is enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Whith Grafana having access to data in the CSV file, it's easy to access this data to create a dashboard.
