Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) data source

Grafana ships with built-in support for Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL). You can query and visualize data from any Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or newer, including the Microsoft Azure SQL Database.

Use this data source to create dashboards, explore SQL data, and monitor MSSQL-based workloads in real time.

The following documentation helps you get started working with the Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) data source:

• Configure the Microsoft SQL Server data source
• Microsoft SQL Server query editor
• Microsoft SQL Server template variables

Get the most out of the data source

After installing and configuring the Microsoft SQL Server data source, you can:

• Create a wide variety of visualizations
• Configure and use templates and variables
• Add transformations
• Add annotations
• Set up alerting
• Optimize performance with query caching
