## What is Grafana Panel Plugin?
Panels are the building blocks of Grafana. They allow you to visualize data in different ways. While Grafana has several types of panels already built-in, you can also build your own panel, to add support for other visualizations.
For more information about panels, refer to the documentation on [Panels ](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/features/panels/panels/ )
