Communicate

Use the right place to ask questions, report problems, and propose changes.

• GitHub issues and pull requests: Use for reproducible bugs in core Grafana and maintained plugins, small and actionable feature requests, and code or docs changes via pull requests. Avoid general “how do I” questions. For security issues, follow the security policy.
• Grafana community forums: Use for questions, troubleshooting, best practices, plugin development Q&A, and early idea discussion. Forums create a searchable public knowledge base that helps others with the same problems and questions. Start here if you are unsure: Grafana community forums.
• Grafana Community Slack: Use for quick, time-sensitive chats and networking. Do not rely on Slack for long troubleshooting or decisions. Share outcomes back to a forum topic or GitHub issue/PR to keep a public record: Grafana Community Slack.

{{< admonition type="note" >}} Not sure where to start? Open a new topic in the forum! Maintainers and community members will redirect you if a GitHub issue or pull request is more appropriate. {{< /admonition >}}
