Support of SQL SERVER EXPRESS

Grafana
1

Hi,
I’m trying to connect to a SQL SERVER EXPRESS datasource.
The address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\SQLEXPRESS is working up to Grafana version 6.7.3.
Latest versions are not working.
Are you going to fix the problem?
Best regards,
MS

Perhaps you could give us a little more information about “not working” - for
example, what is the error message you get when you try to connect, and which
specific version/s of Grafana later than 6.7.3 have you tried?

Also, which port number are you trying to connect to, and is MS SQL running on
the same machine as Grafana or a separate one?

Regards,

Antony.

Hi,
the same host’s string is not working if I upgrade from 6.7.3 to 7.1.5.
Using Host: “XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\SQLEXPRESS” gives error:

“Unable to open tcp connection with XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:1433: dial tcp XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:1433: i/o timeout”

It seems that it removes the “\SQLEXPRESS” part.

Do you have any suggestions?
