Querying ClickHouse with DataStation

Data source setup

First create a new data source in the left sidebar.

Give it a nice name so you easily can find it later. And select ClickHouse in the Vendor dropdown.

Host field

If you are connecting to localhost:8123 (the default), you can leave the host field blank. If your port is 8123 then you can always omit the colon and port and just specify the address.

Other fields

Next fill in the database, username, and password fields if necessary. Leaving these fields blank is ok too.

SSH Proxy [Optional]

If you want connect to a ClickHouse database on a remote server through an SSH proxy, you will need to set up the SSH connection to that server first. Once you do, you can select that connection in the "Via Server" dropdown within the data source editor.

Panel setup

Now create a new panel and select the Database type.

Run a query

Enter your query and hit play!

You can always download the results of a panel by hitting the download button. Or you can reference the results in other panels.

Graph the results

Create a new panel. Change the type to Graph. Select the previous Database panel as the panel source. Then select the X and Y columns you'd like to graph.

Finally, click the play button to generate the graph. You can download the graph as a PNG by clicking the download button.

Note: Ctrl-r is a shortcut for hitting the play button when you are focused on one panel.
