PostgreSQL data source

Grafana includes a built-in PostgreSQL data source plugin, enabling you to query and visualize data from any PostgreSQL-compatible database. You don’t need to install a plugin to add the PostgreSQL data source to your Grafana instance.

Grafana offers several configuration options for this data source as well as a visual and code-based query editor.
