I need to build a kibana like dashboard over a sql database. Is this possible? or is there an alternative as easy as kibana (in term of integration) for sql?

Siren ( http://siren.io ) is an extended Kibana which has support for connecting directly to SQL (or other APIs) and create filters and analytics.

There is a blog about how to index SQL databases in Elasticsearch here: http://blog.comperiosearch.com/blog/2014/01/30/elasticsearch-indexing-sql-databases-the-easy-way/

Once you get it indexed, you can set up your Kibana to view your data.

You can also find more options suggested here: http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/377151-generate-a-dashboard-from-sql-database

this could be an alternative for you- https://github.com/KPIWatchdog/DBconnector creates an API to the tool where you can create queries, visualise data, prepare dashboards and share to others. Depending on the number of metrics, you can opt for free plan or small monthly fee.
