Hi,

i trying my 1st steps with Grafana.  
I hav emany csv files looks like this:

```auto
id,first_name,last_name,email,gender,ip_address
1,Suzie,O'Mannion,somannion0@nhs.uk,Polygender,91.24.81.90
2,Jessee,Gentzsch,jgentzsch1@list-manage.com,Agender,237.161.242.194
3,Malachi,d' Elboux,mdelboux2@printfriendly.com,Genderqueer,116.43.6.237
4,Delmor,Feldman,dfeldman3@newyorker.com,Genderqueer,192.207.48.31
5,Maxwell,Parriss,mparriss4@prweb.com,Female,160.37.34.231

```

I have set the CSV Plugin Path to the source  
then i create a new Dashboard with the DATA Source from CSV  
But i see nothing, what i must do for work?

thanks

Are you seeing any errors when you create the panel?

in the meantime you can manually add this little csv table using the `TestDB` datasource, which is built into every Grafana:
