How to connect Azure Postgre Server to Google Looker Studio


I am trying to connect the database via the postgre connector on looker studio. However, I'm getting an error:

Sorry, we encountered an error and were unable to complete your request. Error ID: 8ccc5e3b

I've confirmed the credentials of the database and the IP has been whitelisted. I've managed to connect to it successfully through pgadmin. I've successfully tested using a render database. With render it required me to use the ISRG Root certificate from let's encrypt. Because this one is Azure I used the one Microsoft provided here


Solution

  • As per the documentation, to allow the looker studio to connect to the azure PostgreSQL database, you will need to whitelist the below IP addresses.

    • 142.251.74.0/23

    • 2001:4860:4807::/48 (for platforms that support IPv6)

    Once you have added the IP address, you should be able to connect to your database from Looker Studio without any issues.
