Source-backed version compatibility
Grafana MySQL version compatibility. Grafana requires MySQL 8.0 or newer and limits support to versions supported upstream when Grafana is released.
Quick answer
Supported and tested versions have compatibility evidence. Recommended and bundled versions describe upstream choices without establishing compatibility. Versions outside the documented coverage are unknown, not necessarily incompatible.
Supported MySQL versions
Grafana requires MySQL 8.0 or newer and limits support to versions supported upstream when Grafana is released.
MySQL 8.4 is an LTS series released in April 2024 with five years of premier support, covering the release dates of these Grafana minors.
This entry verifies the 8.4 LTS line only; the support periods of other MySQL release lines have not been mapped to every Grafana patch.
