Redshift Setup

To connect Zenlytic to Amazon Redshift, you'll need to configure the connection with your database credentials. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Gather Connection Information

You'll need the following information from your Redshift cluster:

• Host: Your Redshift cluster endpoint

• Port: Usually 5439 (default Redshift port)

• Database: The database name

• Username: A database user with appropriate permissions

• Password: The password for the user

Step 2: Create a Database User (if needed)

If you don't have a dedicated user for Zenlytic, create one:

CREATE USER zenlytic_user WITH PASSWORD 'your_secure_password';
GRANT USAGE ON DATABASE your_database TO zenlytic_user;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO zenlytic_user;

Step 3: Add the Connection in Zenlytic

1. In Zenlytic, go to Settings > Data Sources

2. Click "Add Data Source"

3. Select "Redshift" from the list

4. Enter the connection details:

   • Host: Your Redshift cluster endpoint

   • Port: 5439 (or your custom port)

   • Database: Your database name

   • Username: Your database username

   • Password: Your database password
