Hi guys, I would to know if is it possible to store data like historical data inside Grafana.
For example: I would like to store the number of employees from last year and then compare this number with current employees. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks to everyone in advance
Maybe it can not do it.
you can store in databases, then put the data in grafana to compare and show them.

No; Grafana is not a data store; it is a visualisation tool.

Is there a db that is recommended to do this or any one can be used?
It depends on your data type.
You can use the relational database, such as MYSQL

Perfect! Thank you so much!
Data sources | Grafana Labs shows the currently
supported data stores for Grafana.
They have different characteristics - some are remote, some you can install on
your own hardware; some are better supported on certain operating systems;
some are free software; some are commercially licensed.
They also have different characterstics regarding their query languages, which
affects the types of queries Grafana can perform to display the data you want.
You need to select the best one for your needs based on things like what
platform you want to run it on, which one/s you are most familiar with, which
ones support the queries you need to run, etc.
