Not able to connect my MS sql server Database Source

Grafana MSSQL
21

Hi, I solved the problem by using answer from nasirtaha and turn off my firewall. Host port can be found from TCP/IP, that is 1433 for my case.

22

encrypt seems no problem.

Hi

We have upgrade grafana from 6.5 to 7.3 version. However we are not able to connect to SQL Server and getting below error message.

Login error: mssql: Login failed for user ‘svc_grafana’.

It was working fine in Grafana 6.5. We are using SQL Server 2016 database to connection and we are able to ping the server from the server where we have configured grafana. Please help us with the solution.

Make sure you do as nasirtaha says above and
restart SQL Server service. i.e. from cmd.exe as administrator:

C:\Windows\system32>net stop mssqlserver
then
C:\Windows\system32>net start mssqlserver

I was able to connect with Dbeaver, so no firewall, configuration, etc, etc issues. This was the key. Thank you!

Hello, in case your MSSQL is running on docker for host value use
<your_container_db_name>:<port>

[sqleng.connectionError] failed to connect to server - Please try again. If the issue persists please open a support ticket that notes the time in UTC.

i got same error. my remote server is listening on 1433 and dbever and other machines can access the SQL Server. TCP and named both are enabled.

I just downloaded grafhana and learning things. Do i need agent?

How did you resolve the error?

Is the address of the server. The trick is to add :0 at the end.

I tested it already and it worked.

yes added 0 and it worked exactly as following

192.168.1.12\sqlexpress:0
