Supported databases and connection options in Tractorscope

In Tractorscope, supported databases can be connected with the credentials, network access, and security settings required to run live queries for charts, dashboards, alerts, and reports.
Tractorscope connects to databases so charts, dashboards, filters, alerts, and reports can run live SQL queries against your data.

Supported database types

Tractorscope supports:
  • MySQL 5.7
  • MySQL 8
  • Postgres
  • BigQuery
  • LibSQL / Turso
  • SingleStore
  • MotherDuck

Standard connection fields

For most SQL databases, you will provide:
  • Display name
  • Database type
  • Host
  • Port
  • Database name
  • User
  • Password
  • SSL option
  • Timezone
BigQuery, MotherDuck, Turso, and similar services may use credential or token fields instead of the standard host/user/password combination.

Security and network options

Use an SSH tunnel when the database is private and should not be exposed publicly. Use fixed outgoing IPs when your database firewall needs to allowlist Tractorscope connection traffic.
SSL options are available for supported databases. Choose the SSL mode that matches your database server and certificate setup.

Health checks

After a database is created or updated, Tractorscope runs a health check. Health checks help confirm whether credentials, network access, SSL, SSH, and database permissions are configured correctly.
