Send events to AWS Redshift

Redshift Plugin

Send events to AWS Redshift on ingestion.

Instructions

1. Create a Redshift Cluster

2. Make sure PostHog can access your cluster

This might require a few things:

• Allowing public access to the cluster
• Ensuring your VPC security group allows traffic to and from the Redshift cluster - If this is not possible in your case, you should consider using our S3 plugin and then setting up your own system for getting data into your Redshift cluster

3. Create a user with table creation priviledges

We need to create a new table to store events and execute INSERT queries. You can and should block us from doing anything else on any other tables. Giving us table creation permissions should be enough to ensure this:

CREATE USER posthog WITH PASSWORD '123456yZ';
GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE your_database TO posthog;

4. Add the connection details at the plugin configuration step in PostHog
