     8  
     9  [Grafana 6.0](https://grafana.com/grafana/download/6.0.0) and more recent
    10  versions have built-in support for Grafana Loki.
    11  Use [Grafana 6.3](https://grafana.com/grafana/download/6.3.0) or a more
    12  recent version to take advantage of [LogQL]({{< relref "../logql/_index.md" >}}) functionality.
    13  
    14  1. Log into your Grafana instance. If this is your first time running
    15     Grafana, the username and password are both defaulted to `admin`.
    16  1. In Grafana, go to `Configuration` > `Data Sources` via the cog icon on the
    17     left sidebar.
    18  1. Click the big <kbd>+ Add data source</kbd> button.
    19  1. Choose Loki from the list.
    20  1. The http URL field should be the address of your Loki server. For example,
    21     when running locally or with Docker using port mapping, the address is
    22     likely `http://localhost:3100`. When running with docker-compose or
    23     Kubernetes, the address is likely `http://loki:3100`.
    24  1. To see the logs, click <kbd>Explore</kbd> on the sidebar, select the Loki
    25     datasource in the top-left dropdown, and then choose a log stream using the
    26     <kbd>Log labels</kbd> button.
    27  1. Learn more about querying by reading about Loki's query language [LogQL]({{< relref "../logql/_index.md" >}}).

    29  Read more about Grafana's Explore feature in the
    30  [Grafana documentation](http://docs.grafana.org/features/explore) and on how to
    31  search and filter for logs with Loki.
    32  
    33  To configure Loki as a datasource via provisioning, see [Configuring Grafana via
    34  Provisioning](http://docs.grafana.org/features/datasources/loki/#configure-the-datasource-with-provisioning).
    35  Set the URL in the provisioning.
