# InfluxDB Datasource -  Native Plugin

Grafana ships with **built in** support for InfluxDB 0.9. 

There are currently two separate datasources for InfluxDB in Grafana: InfluxDB 0.8.x and InfluxDB 0.9.x. The API and capabilities of InfluxDB 0.9.x are completely different from InfluxDB 0.8.x which is why Grafana handles them as different data sources.

This is the plugin for InfluxDB 0.9. It is rapidly evolving and we continue to track its API. 

InfluxDB 0.8 is no longer maintained by InfluxDB Inc, but we provide support as a convenience to existing users. You can find it [here](https://grafana.net/plugins/grafana-influxdb-08-datasource).
