# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
## Visualization & Query issues
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The most common problems are related to the query & response from you data source. Even if it looks
|
|
like a bug or visualization issue in Grafana it is 99% of time a problem with the data source query or
|
|
the data source response.
|
|
|
|
To check this you should use Query Inspector (new in Grafana v4.5). The query Inspector shows query requests and responses.
|
|
|
|
For more on the query inspector read [this guide here](https://community.grafana.com/t/using-grafanas-query-inspector-to-troubleshoot-issues/2630). For
|
|
older versions of Grafana read the [how troubleshoot metric query issue](https://community.grafana.com/t/how-to-troubleshoot-metric-query-issues/50/2) article.

|
|
## Logging
|
|
|
|
If you encounter an error or problem it is a good idea to check the grafana server log. Usually
|
|
located at `/var/log/grafana/grafana.log` on unix systems or in `<grafana_install_dir>/data/log` on
|
|
other platforms & manual installs.
|
|
|
|
You can enable more logging by changing log level in you grafana configuration file.
