Grafana Sqlyze Data source

A Grafana data source plugin that connects to hundreds of datasources using one language: SQL. Connect to your favorite SQL databases, NoSQL databases, and many other non-SQL sources...and query them with SQL.

This plugin is not yet supported in Grafana Cloud.

The data source uses ODBC

This plugin has a dependency on ODBC. Windows/Linux/MacOS all support ODBC. Some dependencies may need to be installed.

Using ODBC with Linux ARM or MacOS

Install or make sure unixODBC is installed

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/11.5?topic=managers-installing-unixodbc-driver-manager

This plugin requires an ODBC driver. ODBC Drivers are available through 3rd parties. See below for a list.


Time series

To format your queries for time series, simply use the alias: as time

select date_start as time, foo, avg(bar) as bar
from foo_bar
