Installation

To use the YNAB data source, you first need to have a running Grafana installation. This page explains how to install Grafana and the YNAB data source.

  2. Browse to My Account -> Overview.
  3. Scroll down to the boxes for Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, and so on.
  4. In the Grafana box, click Log In to start Grafana.

Step 2: Install the YNAB data source#

  1. Browse to the YNAB data source plugin page.
  2. Click the Installation tab.
  3. Select the account you want to install the plugin on.
  4. Click Install plugin for the instance you want to install the plugin on.

It might take a few minutes before the plugin has been installed. Next, you'll configure the YNAB data source.
