# Access Profiles Drilldown

Grafana Profiles Drilldown is a native Grafana application designed to integrate seamlessly with [Pyroscope](https://github.com/grafana/pyroscope), the open source continuous profiling platform, providing a smooth, queryless experience for browsing and analyzing profiling data.

You can use Profiles Drilldown in Grafana Cloud or in your own Grafana instance.

## Before you begin

To use Profiles Drilldown with Grafana Cloud, you need:

- A Grafana Cloud account
- A Grafana stack in Grafana Cloud with a configured Hosted profiles or [Pyroscope data source](/404/)

To use Profiles Drilldown with Grafana open source or Grafana Enterprise, you need:

- Grafana 11.5 or later
- Your own Grafana instance
- A configured [Pyroscope data source](/404/)

## Install the Profiles Drilldown plugin

Profiles Drilldown is distributed as a Grafana Plugin. You can find it in the official [Grafana Plugin Directory](/grafana/plugins/grafana-pyroscope-app/).

> Note
> 
> Grafana v12 and later includes all Grafana Drilldown apps by default, so no plugin installation is required.

For Grafana 11.5 through 11.x, install the plugin from the Grafana Plugin Directory.
