MySQL data source learning path

You’ve chosen MySQL. This hands-on learning path walks you through connecting your MySQL database to Grafana Cloud.

You’ll create a dedicated Grafana user in MySQL, configure the data source connection, and verify your queries return data. By the end, you’ll be ready to build dashboards with your MySQL data.

You have three options for completing this exercise. You can open it directly in your Grafana Cloud stack for a fully interactive experience. You can try it in the Grafana Play environment if you want to explore without affecting your own stack. Or you can read through the learning path on the website to understand the process before trying it yourself.

When you’re done, click “Path completed” to continue with the course.
