Overview
The MariaDB connector in Graphite Note allows you to import your data from a MariaDB or run custom SQL queries directly within the platform.
Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure your firewall allows incoming requests from the following IP address:
99.81.63.220
Steps to Import Data
1. Create a New Dataset
Option 1: Go to the homepage and click on "Create" under Datasets.
Option 2: From the datasets list, click on "New Dataset."
2. Select MariaDB
Choose "MariaDB" as your dataset source and click "Next".
3. Enter Dataset Information
Name: Provide a name for the dataset.
Description: Add a short description of the data.
Tags: Add tags for better organization.
Click "Next" to proceed.
4. Establish a Connection
Fill in the following connection details:
Server Name: Enter the hostname or IP address of your MariaDB instance.
Database Port: Enter the port number for your database (typically 3306).
Database User: Provide the username for the database.
Database Password: Enter the password for the database user.
Database Name: Specify the name of the database you wish to connect to.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): SSL is a protocol for encrypting information over the internet. If your MariaDB instance requires SSL, ensure you enable this option.

If necessary, you can change column names, data types, or data formats.
8. Create the Dataset
Click on the "Create" button to finalize and create your dataset.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
Ensure your firewall settings are configured to accept incoming requests from the IP address mentioned above. This is crucial for establishing a successful connection between Graphite Note and your MariaDB Server.
Import Process
Once the connection is validated:
Graphite Note will initiate the data import process.
The duration of this process depends on the size of your dataset. Small datasets will import in a few minutes, while larger datasets may take longer.
Next Steps
Now that your data is imported and prepared, you can proceed to create a model without writing any code. Simply go to the Models and follow the steps to build and deploy your model using Graphite Note's intuitive interface.
