# Import the pre-built Grafana dashboard

You can import the **Data Transferred** dashboard that ships with the Azion plugin for Grafana, and open it in Grafana with no panel to configure. Through the Azion data source, the dashboard reads from [Real-Time Metrics](/en/documentation/platform/real-time-metrics/) the data your [Applications](/en/documentation/platform/applications/) transfer. To build your own panels instead, refer to [Build a custom Grafana dashboard](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/azion-plugin-grafana-custom-dash/). To import a dashboard from a JSON file, refer to [Import the Data Transferred dashboard](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/data-transferred-dash/).

---

## Prerequisites

- A Grafana instance with the Azion plugin installed and an Azion data source created. To set up both, refer to [Install the Azion plugin for Grafana](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/integrate-grafana/).
- A data source that holds a personal token from Azion Console and passed **Save & test**. **Save & test** checks that the token authenticates to your Azion account. To create the token, refer to [Personal tokens](/en/documentation/guides/platform/account-and-billing/personal-tokens/).

## Import the Data Transferred dashboard

The plugin lists the **Data Transferred** dashboard on the **Dashboards** tab of the Azion data source, next to its **Settings** tab. To import the dashboard into Grafana:

1. **Open the Azion data source**

   In Grafana, open the configuration page of the Azion data source you created.

2. **Go to the Dashboards tab**

3. **Select the Data Transferred dashboard**

   In the list, select **Data Transferred**.

4. **Select Import**

Grafana adds the **Data Transferred** dashboard to your Grafana account.

---

## Open the dashboard

Grafana lists the imported dashboard under **General**. To open it:

1. **Open the dashboard list**

   In the Grafana menu, select **Dashboards**.

2. **Open Data Transferred**

   Under **General**, select **Data Transferred**.

The dashboard shows the Applications **Data Transferred** data from Real-Time Metrics, with no further setup. For what each Data Transferred metric measures in Azion Console, refer to [Build dashboards](/en/documentation/platform/real-time-metrics/build-dashboards/#data-transferred).

---

## Keep an editable copy

A copy lets you change panels and still keep the original view of the imported dashboard. To edit the dashboard without losing that view, save it as a copy from its **Dashboard Settings**.

The copy takes your edits, and the original **Data Transferred** dashboard keeps its view. For more information on editing a dashboard, refer to [Create and use dashboards](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/dashboards/) in the Grafana documentation.

## Next steps

- [Build a custom Grafana dashboard](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/azion-plugin-grafana-custom-dash.md): Add panels of your own that query Real-Time Metrics through the Azion data source.
- [Build dashboards](/en/documentation/platform/real-time-metrics/build-dashboards.md#data-transferred): Look up what each Data Transferred chart measures and the httpMetrics field behind it.
- [Import the Data Transferred dashboard](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/data-transferred-dash.md): Import a Data Transferred dashboard from a JSON file instead of the plugin.
- [Install the Azion plugin for Grafana](/en/documentation/guides/platform/observability/integrate-grafana.md): Install the plugin and create the Azion data source this dashboard reads from.
