3. Start Grafana and visit `http://localhost:3000` in your browser.
4. In the left navigation of the Grafana user interface (UI), hover over the gear
icon to reveal the **Configuration** section. Click **Data Sources**.
5. Click **Add data source**.
6. Select **Flux (InfluxDB) [BETA]** from the list of available plugins.
## Configure your InfluxDB 2.0 connection
1. Name your Flux datasource.
2. Under **HTTP**, Configure your **InfluxDB URL**.
If running InfluxDB 2.0 OSS locally, use `http://localhost:9999`.
If connecting to an {{< cloud-name "short" >}} instance, see [InfluxDB Cloud URLs](/v2.0/cloud/urls/)
for information about what URL to use.
3. Under the **Auth** section, select **With Credentials**.
4. Under **InfluxDB 2.0.0 Details**, enter your **organization name** _or_ **organization ID**,
**default bucket**, and **authentication token**.
_For information about retrieving your organization name and ID, see
[View organizations](/v2.0/organizations/view-orgs/).
For information about viewing your authentication token, see
[View tokens](/v2.0/security/tokens/view-tokens/)._

5. Click **Save & Test**. Grafana will attempt to connect to the InfluxDB 2.0 datasource
and return the results of the test.
## Query and visualize data
With your InfluxDB connection configured, use Grafana and Flux to query and
visualize time series data stored in InfluxDB 2.0.
