I was following the documentation in https://support.google.com/looker-studio/answer/7288010?hl=en#zippy=%2Cin-this-article to get my connection to work, but for some reason i receive this message.

Sorry, we encountered an error and were unable to complete your request.

Error ID: 82f94123

what can I do?

what I have tried:

  • checking the connection credentials and test with another software (pgadmin)
  • adding google ip addresses to the firewall in DigitalOcean
  • Created a test database with each Postgres version from 8 to 14.

Hey @noedolphin,

I’ve noticed a similar discussion here which was just due to a temporary issue on the Looker end:

If you were to try now does it work?

The error is very vague and hard to pinpoint what might be going on. Have you tried temporarily disabling the trusted sources of your cluster to see if Looker is able to connect when the database cluster is open for all incoming connections?

Let me know how it goes!
