In Tractorscope, getting started means signing in to your account, connecting a supported database, and building your first dashboard with live chart data.
Tractorscope is a hosted analytics platform. There is no desktop app or command-line package to install before you can use it.
To get started, sign in to Tractorscope, choose or create an account, connect a database, and create your first dashboard.
Before you begin
You need:
- A Tractorscope user account
- Access to a Tractorscope account or an invitation to join one
- Database connection details for at least one supported database
- Network access from Tractorscope to your database, either directly, through an SSH tunnel, or through fixed outgoing IPs
Supported databases
Tractorscope supports these database connection types:
- MySQL 5.7
- MySQL 8
- Postgres
- BigQuery
- LibSQL / Turso
- SingleStore
- MotherDuck
Database options vary by type. Depending on the database, you may configure host, port, database name, user, password, credentials, SSL, timezone, SSH tunnel settings, and fixed outgoing IP routing.
