Setup

  1. Open Connect source

    In the app, go to Data sources and choose Connect source. Open the Data lakes tab and select S3 + Athena.

  2. Enter connection details

    Provide the host, database name, and a read-only user and password. Enable SSL/TLS if your database requires it, or configure an SSH tunnel for a private network.

  3. Save the connection

    Queringo tests the connection before saving, then discovers the schema. PII is flagged and masked by default during discovery.

Where to find these in your provider

  1. In AWS, create an IAM user (or role) with read access to your Athena workgroup and the S3 buckets that hold your data.
  2. Attach AmazonAthenaFullAccess (read-only patterns work too) plus s3:GetObject on the relevant buckets.
  3. Create an access key for the user and copy the access key ID and secret.
  4. Pick the AWS region, workgroup, and the S3 output location Athena should use, and paste everything into the connection form.

Test the connection

Queringo runs a connection test as part of saving. If it fails, the error message indicates what to check (credentials, network reachability, or scope). From Data sources, you can re-run Test connection on the source row any time, for example after rotating a secret or changing network rules.

Edit or rotate

To change connection details (host, port, or database), open the source from Data sources and edit it. To swap only the secret (password, key file, or token), use Rotate credentials so existing dashboards and alerts keep working. See Rotating credentials.
