Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing MySQL (& MariaDB) data in Metabase automatically

How do I connect MySQL to Metabase without technical setup?
Start by adding MySQL (& MariaDB) as a data source in your Kondado account and enter your database credentials. Then select Metabase as your destination and choose which Tables and Views pipelines you want to replicate. Your data will begin flowing to Metabase automatically, ready for visualization without any coding or database administration required.
What MySQL data can I visualize in Metabase dashboards?
Kondado automatically maps all your Tables and Views pipelines, including customer tables, sales records, inventory data, and any custom views your team has created. You can visualize transaction histories, user behavior patterns, product catalogs, and operational metrics directly in Metabase charts and graphs. This gives business teams access to the full scope of their database information without writing SQL queries.
How often does my MySQL data update in Metabase?
You configure the refresh schedule based on your business needs, with options ranging from every 5 minutes to daily updates. This keeps your Metabase dashboards current with your latest MySQL records without manual exports or spreadsheet maintenance. You can adjust the frequency anytime as your reporting requirements change.
What business KPIs should I track from MySQL in Metabase?
Common metrics include customer acquisition costs, lifetime value, inventory turnover, sales conversion rates, and order fulfillment times. Operations teams often track supply chain metrics, while marketing teams monitor campaign performance data stored in their MySQL databases. Metabase makes it easy to spot trends in these metrics through visual charts rather than raw database tables.
Can I share MySQL dashboards with my team in Metabase?
Yes, once you build dashboards from your MySQL data in Metabase, you can share them with colleagues through public links, embedded reports, or scheduled email deliveries. Team members can view the visualizations without accessing the underlying database directly. This ensures everyone works from the same updated data source when making business decisions.
Do I need to know SQL to build dashboards from MySQL data?
No, Metabase provides a visual query builder that lets you create charts and dashboards by clicking through your available data fields. While your data originates from MySQL tables, the platform translates your selections into the appropriate queries automatically. Business users can explore trends and generate reports without any database programming knowledge.
