Error connecting Qliksense Cloud to redshift - qlikview

I am trying to connect Qliksense Cloud to Amazon Redshift and get a timeout error establishing a connection and it asks whether my server is accepting TCP connections on port 5439. As far as I know, it is set up properly. I even opened port 5439 explicitly on security groups of the VPC but getting the same error. There doesn't seem to be any good and latest documentation or videos out there.

Have you checked out these resources:

http://cdn.qlik.com/media/QlikView%20Integration%20with%20Amazon%20Redshift.pdf
Also, first try "allow-all in-out" in the Firewall. if then it is working then it's a FW issue. If it's not working then it's a config issue.
Check in Amazon if you whitelisted your QS server IP address.

Odoo 11 + Postgresql all on AWS - not able to connect from my onpremise machine

I'm hosting Odoo on AWS and need to connect from my local machine. I am using AWS Certificate Manager instead of using a local .pem file ( no SSL configuration done on Apache as I am using AWS CM).
My odoo application works well, If I type https://myodoosite.com it works well.
What I need is to connect to the Postgresql DB on myodoosite.com
I can connect to the Postgresql DB from within the myodoosite.com server by uisng the command $psql -U postgres odoo_prod
Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this?
WHen I connect from my local, it says " Is the server running at myodoosite.com accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? "
Thank you for your replies.
Did I understand correctly your situation:
Odoo, Apache and PostgreSQL in one or multiple EC2 instances in AWS.
Load Balancer with SSL termination (using certificate from Certificate Manager) that exposes only your Odoo/Apache http service.
You probably have firewall rules in security groups preventing the PostgreSQL traffic in tcp port 5432. You need to open port 5432 to be accessible from your onpremise IP-address. You can do this by enabling the predefined PostgreSQL type in PostgreSQL EC2 instance's Security Group and set your IP address in the source address. Please note that this way the database is accessible for all traffic coming from that IP or IP range. So if you use shared IP this could be a problem.
Another easy and secure way to connect to PostgreSQL is to tunnel the traffic from your workstation with ssh. This is usable if you already have ssh port open and you do not want to open PostgreSQL port to public internet.

SQL Server 2014 cannot connect to remote Server

Before I get flagged, I will say that I have tried everything that I could find, but I still cannot connect:
I have opened TCP Port (1433), Server is listening on ['any' < ipv4 > 1433].
I have enable the server browser service
I have enabled remote connections in my SQL server
I have also assigned the TCP port to the TCP protocol for sqlexpress here
I also tried tried to debug the connection using the NETSTAT.exe and it says the TCP 1433 is listening.
I have restarted the service several times when I try to connect from my local PC I get the following error
I can connect remotely to my server using IIS and url.
Question:
What can I do to debug the connection between the devices?
For people that are interested in the question.
I have fixed the issue, (by luck), so what I did I was playing around with the different kind of ports and I added a rule for range ports from
1430 to 1440
and that seemed to fix the problem.
Check it out here
Also for people that use Azure make sure to add a rule in the network security group.
Thanks for the help

Apache Airflow unable to establish connect to remote host via FTP/SFTP

I am new to Apache Airflow and so far, I have been able to work my way through problems I have encountered.
I have hit a wall now. I need to transfer files to a remote server via sftp. I have not had any luck doing this. So far, I have gotten S3 and Postgres/Redshift connections via their respective hooks to work in various DAGs. I have been able to use the FTPHook with success testing on my local FTP server, but have not been able to figure out how to use SFTP to connect to a remote host.
I am able to connect to the remote host via SFTP with FileZilla, so I know my credentials are correct.
Through Google searching I have found the SFTPOperator, but am not able to figure out how to use it. I have also found FTPSHook, but still I have not been able to get it to work.
I keep getting the error nodename nor servname provided, or not known or a general Operation timed out in my Airflow logs.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Should I be using the FTPSHook with SSH or FTP Airflow Conn Type? Or do I need to utilize the SFTPOperator? I am also confused as to how I am supposed to setup the credentials in my Airflow connections. Do I use the SSH profile or FTP?
If I can provide any more additional info that may help, please let me know.
Cheers!
SFTPOperator is using ssh_hook underhood to open sftp transport channel that serves as a basis for file transfer. You can either configure ssh_hook by yourself or provide connection id via ssh_conn_id.
op = SFTPOperator(
task_id="test_sftp",
ssh_conn_id="my_ssh_connection",
local_filepath="",
remote_filepath="",
operation=SFTPOperation.PUT,
dag=dag

Cannot connect to RDS SQL Server Database using Management Studio

I created a SQL Server RDS Instance in AWS and it seems to be up and running, but if I try to connect to it using Management Studio I get this error:
Here is the text of the error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The wait operation timed out.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 258)
I initially tried with the default security group that was created with the instance, but when that didn't work I created a new security group and modified the instance to use it.
Here you can see the details:
I tried this connection setup to connect:
Server Type: Database Engine
Server Name: valuationdlsdev.ck1qvjqhglyg.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com,1433
Authentication: SQL Server Authentication
Login: the Master User Login I created when creating the RDS Instance
Password: the Master User Password I created when creating the RDS Instance
I was kinda at my wits end and so I changed the setting on the Security Group to All traffic just to see if that would work, so here are all the settings on the security group:
At this point I'm wondering if port 1433 is not open, because I feel like I've tried everything. Could someone please help me.
Thanks.
In my case I opened the VPC Security group associated with my database
In the EC2 Security groups dashboard I selected Edit Inbound Rules from the actions dropdown and chose edit inbound rules.
At first, I looked at the inbound rules and thought everything was OK since this was the current setup
After all - if it was allowing all traffic, then what could possibly be wrong?
On a whim I added a rule for TCP port 1433. Ending up with this simple setup
Then it immediately started working for me.
Make sure it is publicly accessible, there is a radio button you have to check to make it publicly accessible.
Also add MS SQL inbound rule in inbound tab.After making the change wait for sometime so that the settings are updated in the instance.
In my experience this was counter-intuitive. With the options I selected, all ports and IPs seemed to be open, but after editing the inbound and outbound rules in the security group to have MS SQL for anywhere, I was able to connect.
For inbound rules, go to the VPC Security group of your database instance
In Inbound tab click modify
In column source change ip 0.0.0.0 by your IP by "My IP" or "Anywhere"
I had the same issue.
I ended up deleting the security group inbound rules, and just added a new inbound rule for port 1433, source being: 0.0.0.0

Thanks for the discussion here. Just post my finding in case anyone needs help in the future.
I initially followed this guide https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_ConnectToMicrosoftSQLServerInstance.html.
then, I got some ideas from this post and figure out my particular issue in the end. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=845682 The poster really did wonderful troubleshooting steps which could help fix most of the general Error 258 problems already. In the end I used the suggestion from the answerer to find out my problem.
In terms of my case of encountering error 258, I tried to connect to RDS SQL server 2016 inside a secure network from my workplace. When I switched to use the public network served by some Telecomm vendor, the connecting was succeeded.
If you want to access from different network were the instance was created, you'll need to open access to the IP range of where you want to access, by going to the "security group" assigned to your DB instance, and then adding the rule for your IP range.
PD. AWS by default only allow access from the IP range of the machine where you activated "public access" to the instance.
I was also not able to access it from my office laptop, but I was able to access it from my personal laptop. I think it is because of some company firewall rules.
In case anyone comes across this post looking for an answer, I just wanted to updated and make sure it's there if anyone needs it. The issue here turned out to be that I misunderstood the way "Publicly Accessible" works and set it to "Yes". Apparently it should have been set to "No". "Yes", however does work for the SQL Server Express version.

Notepad++ and SFTP connection issue

I am trying to connect to SFTP server using notepad++ plugin NppFTP. However, while connecting to the remote server I always get below error:
Connecting
[SFTP] Connection failed : Timeout connecting to <IP address>
Unable to connect
Disconnected
Here are the important configuration details set in NppFTP window for your reference:
Port: 22
Connection Type: SFTP
Authentication: Try password authentication
I tried to go through some of the solutions stated in few the questions in Stack Overflow but to no avail.
Would really appreciate your suggestions/pointers to resolve this. If it is related to SSH private key, would appreciate if you can provide the steps as well.
Edit: I am able to access the server using another FTP tool FileZilla which eliminates any mess with the access front.
You need to find out more about where the issue is:
Can you ping the server you are trying to connect to?
ping 166.178.233.70
Did you try connecting with another ftp tool, like FileZilla, that gives more detailed log information?
The possible issues are numerous:
The ftp server config: set up to exclude connections from certain ip addresses or domains, requires public/private keys...
Your local connection/VPN is not passing the connection.
It may require a
I got the same issue. The problem was solved after I updated NppFTP.
in my case, I changed the wifi connection then, it works.
