PBI - SSH tunnel - Redshift Connection

[PremK]

My Organisation uses Redshift as Data Base, which they installed AWS EC2 Insatnces in a remote PC which is acting as Production server. Its a secured server, so they created a SSH Tunnel ( bastian host ). Only using this tunnel i can connect Redshift with any tool in any other devices.

In my office laptop,

i had succesfully connected DBeaver with Redshift using SSH tunnel configauration in DBeaver, and i can see the data's.

now i have to connect this Redshift data with PBI to make Reports, but because of PBI dont have explicit SSH tunnel configuration ( like in DBeaver ) - Unable to Connect, and shows error

I have done so much R&D but i couldn'd find a solution.

Anyone pls suggest how to make this connection succesfull.

Hi @PremK ,

Thank you for reaching out. It seems that connecting to Redshift via an SSH tunnel directly in Power BI is not feasible. However, Power BI provides a dedicated connector for Amazon Redshift, which you can use to establish a connection.

Additionally, you can utilize an on-premises data gateway to enable Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on (SSO) for Amazon Redshift. This setup can help you securely connect and access your Redshift data for reporting purposes in Power BI.

For details, you can refer to

Power Query Amazon Redshift connector - Power Query | Microsoft Learn
