# Sumo Logic data source

The Sumo Logic data source lets you query and visualize metrics and log data from [Sumo Logic](https://www.sumologic.com/) in Grafana. You can use the visual metrics query builder or write raw queries for both metrics and logs, then display results in dashboards and set up alerts.

> Note
> 
> The Sumo Logic data source is an Enterprise plugin. It’s available with a [Grafana Cloud Pro or Advanced](/pricing/) plan and [Grafana Enterprise](/docs/grafana/latest/introduction/grafana-enterprise/). For installation instructions, refer to [Install Grafana Enterprise plugins](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/plugin-management/#install-grafana-enterprise-plugins).
