Tempo data source

Grafana ships with built-in support for Tempo, 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. Only users with the organization administrator role can add data sources. Administrators can also configure the data source via YAML with Grafana’s provisioning system.

Once you’ve added the data source, you can configure it so that your Grafana instance’s users can create queries in its query editor when they build dashboards and use Explore.
