Data connectivity
The dashboard fetches its data from preprod DataHub’s RDS database, using the quicksight user.
Quicksight is part of the platforms-production VPC, which can resolve Cloud Platform internal hostnames.
Credentials for the quicksight user can be found in the “DataHub” 1Password vault.
If you need to recreate the credentials, connect to the database and run the following,
replacing <password> with a randomly generated password:
-- workaround for Quicksight using outdated database drivers
set password_encryption = 'md5';
create user quicksight with password '<password>';
grant connect on database db67fea2022376ec46 to quicksight;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA public TO quicksight;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO quicksight;
