Creating an Amazon QuickSight data source connection to Starburst with login credentials
-
Begin by creating a new dataset. From the left navigation pane, choose Datasets, then choose New Dataset.
Choose the Starburst data source card.
Select the Starburst product type. Choose Starburst Enterprise for on-prem Starburst instances. Choose Starburst Galaxy for managed instances.
You should see the following data source creation modal.
For Data source name, enter a descriptive name for your Starburst data source connection. Because you can create many datasets from a connection to Starburst, it's best to keep the name simple.
For Connection type, select the type of network you're using. Choose Public network if your data is shared publicly. Choose VPC if your data is inside a VPC. To configure a VPC connection in Amazon QuickSight, see Configuring the VPC connection in Amazon QuickSight. This connection type is not available for Starburst Galaxy.
For Database server enter the hostname specified in your Starburst connection details.
For Catalog, enter the catalog specified in your Starburst connection details.
For Port, enter the port specified in your Starburst connection details. Defaults to 443 for Starburst Galaxy.
For Username and Password, enter your Starburst connection credentials.
To verify the connection is working, choose Validate connection.
To finish and create the data source, choose Create data source.
Note
Connectivity between Amazon QuickSight and Starburst was validated using Starburst version 420.
After you have successfully created a data source connection between your QuickSight and Starburst accounts, you can begin creating QuickSight datasets that contain Starburst data.
