# Add InfluxDB as a data source

Grafana includes built-in support for InfluxDB. In this milestone, you add the InfluxDB data source to your Grafana Cloud instance.

Let’s walk through the steps together.

1. In the navigation menu, navigate to **Connections > Data sources**.
2. Click **Add new data source**.
3. In the **Search** field, enter `InfluxDB`.
4. From the search results, click **InfluxDB**.

In the next milestone, you’ll configure the connection details including the query language, URL, and authentication credentials.
