Overview

To set up connection with Redshift, Statsig needs the following
  • Cluster Endpoint
  • Admin User Name
  • Admin User Password
SHA256 passwords are not currently supported, please utilize MD5 to avoid issues.
You can find this information in your aws console within your specific cluster, as shown in the image below. (Open image in new tab for a bigger image)
Frame 1
Admin user name and password will be used by Statsig to create a user with restricted access to query from your data warehouse.

​
SSH Tunneling

For Redshift connections, we also allow users to create an SSH tunnel into their Redshift cluster for a more secure and private access to the database. To enable access, Statsig requires:
  • SSH Host
  • SSH Port
  • SSH User
Statsig will use this information to generate an SSH key. Please add this generated key to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on your SSH proxy machine to enable SSH tunneling.

​
Custom User Privileges

To create a custom user with specific privileges instead of using an admin user, run the following code in your Redshift cluster with your admin user. Replace <USER> and <PASSWORD> with your value, which you will copy over into our console. 
# Create Statsig User
CREATE USER <USER> WITH PASSWORD <PASSWORD> SYSLOG ACCESS UNRESTRICTED;

# Give access to any Schemas that the Statsig User needs to read from
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <SCHEMA> to <USER>;
GRANT SELECT ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA <SCHEMA> to <USER>;

# Create a Schema for Statsig User to write temporary data to
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS statsig_ingestion_staging;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA <SCHEMA> TO <USER>;
After running the script, input the <USER> and <PASSWORD> you created in our console, during Connection Set Up stage under the Advanced settings options.
