Error trying to connect WFA DB to Grafana

Balu — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:55:58 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to connect WFADB to Graphana to pull out the execution logs from WFA and display them as graph in Grafana.

I understood that WFADB is not exposed to public only accesible within the installed server.

But Is there any way to connect to WFADB from external server?

WFA DB is standard MySQL. You can make it available on the network.

Remove the following from the mysql server configuration:

bind-address=127.0.0.1

Maybe you also need to tune your server firewall.

Moep,

Thanks for your time and info.

Anyways I have duplicated my wfa Database and added Grafana as a Data source now Grafana can collect all the info from WFA.

Now i am able to pull the logs per or month or per year.
