The Coralogix JDBC driver allows you to investigate your log data with your favorite database tool using SQL queries.

While using the Kibana querying language syntax would usually be the quickest way to search your logs, using SQL allows you to express queries and aggregations that would sometimes be more difficult to write using Kibana visualizations. With the Coralogix JDBC driver, you can quickly get started on performing SQL queries against the data already stored in your Coralogix account.

JDBC, which stands for “Java Database Connectivity”, is a common standard for database drivers, and many popular querying tools support it. In this tutorial, you’ll find instructions on using the Coralogix JDBC driver with Tableau.

Getting Started

    1. Place the .jar files in the folder for your operating system. (You need to create the folder if it doesn’t exist already)
