# Using OpenTSDB in Grafana
Grafana ships with advanced support for OpenTSDB.
Grafana ships with advanced support for OpenTSDB. This topic explains options, variables, querying, and other options specific to the OpenTSDB data source. Refer to [Add a data source]({{< relref "add-a-data-source.md" >}}) for instructions on how to add a data source to Grafana. Only users with the organization admin role can add data sources.
## Adding the data source
## OpenTSDB settings
1. Open the side menu by clicking the Grafana icon in the top header.
1. In the side menu under the `Dashboards` link you should find a link named `Data Sources`.
1. Click the `+ Add data source` button in the top header.
1. Select *OpenTSDB* from the *Type* dropdown.
> **Note:** If you're not seeing the `Data Sources` link in your side menu it means that your current user does not have the `Admin` role for the current organization.
To access OpenTSDB settings, hover your mouse over the **Configuration** (gear) icon, then click **Data Sources**, and then click the OpenTSDB data source.
