Redshift Ingestion Guide: Setup & Prerequisites

To configure ingestion from Redshift, you'll need a User configured with the proper permission sets, and an associated.

This setup guide will walk you through the steps you'll need to take via your Google Cloud Console.

Redshift Prerequisites​

  1. Connect to your Amazon Redshift cluster using an SQL client such as SQL Workbench/J or Amazon Redshift Query Editor with your Admin user.
  2. Create a Redshift User that will be used to perform the metadata extraction if you don't have one already. For example:
CREATE USER datahub WITH PASSWORD 'Datahub1234';

Redshift Setup​

  1. Grant the following permission to your datahub user:
ALTER USER datahub WITH SYSLOG ACCESS UNRESTRICTED;
GRANT SELECT ON pg_catalog.svv_table_info to datahub;
GRANT SELECT ON pg_catalog.svl_user_info to datahub;

Next Steps​

Once you've confirmed all of the above in Redshift, it's time to move on to configure the actual ingestion source within the DataHub UI.
