# Test data Panel |
||||
|
||||
> NOTE: This panel is disable by default. |
||||
|
||||
## Purpose |
||||
The purpose of this data sources is to make it easier to create fake data for any panel. |
||||
Using `Grafana TestData` you can build your own time series and have any panel render it. |
||||
This make is much easier to verify functionally since the data can be shared very |
||||
|
||||
## Enable |
||||
|
||||
`Grafana TestData` is not enabled by default. To enable it you have to go to `/plugins/testdata/edit` and click the enable button. |
||||
|
||||
## Create mock data. |
||||
|
||||
Once `Grafana TestData` is enabled you use it as a datasource in the metric panel. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
## Scenarios |
||||
|
||||
You can now choose different scenario that you want rendered in the drop down menu. If you have scenarios that you think should be added, please add them to `` and submit a pull request. |
||||
|
||||
## CSV |
||||
|
||||
The comma separated values scenario is the most powerful one since it lets you create any kind of graph you like. |
||||
Once you provided the numbers `Grafana TestData` will distribute them evenly based on the time range of your query. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Dashboards |
||||
|
||||
`Grafana TestData` also contains some dashboards with example. `/plugins/testdata/edit` |
||||
|
||||
### Commit updates to the dashboards |
||||
|
||||
If you want to submit a change to one of the current dashboards bundled with `Grafana TestData` you have to update the revision property. |
||||
Otherwise the dashboard will not be updated automatically for other Grafana users. |
||||
|
||||
## Using test data in issues |
||||
|
||||
If you post an issue on github regarding time series data or rendering of time series data we strongly advice you to use this data source to replicate the data. |
||||
That makes it much easier for the developers to replicate and solve the issue you have. |
