Connectivity Guide

Connecting SQL Server to
AxiomBI in 60 Seconds

Eliminate gateways and complex networking. Our lightweight bridge creates a secure, outbound-only tunnel for real-time data streaming.

End-to-End Encrypted Tunnel

1Install the Axiom Bridge

The Bridge is a non-intrusive Node.js service that runs on your local network. It requires zero inbound firewall rules—it simply polls for requests from the Axiom Cloud.

npm install -g @axiombi/bridge
axiombri-bridge init
axiombri-bridge start

2Configure Credentials

During the `init` phase, you'll be asked for your database credentials. These are encrypted locally using AES-256 and never sent to our servers in plain text.

Inbound Firewall: Closed

Auth Method: SQL / Windows

Encryption: AES-256 TLS

Audit Logs: Enabled

3Live in the Cloud

Once started, your connection will appear as "Active" in the Axiom Connect panel. You can now build charts using real SQL queries directly against your local tables.
