## Documentation content

# Amazon Athena

## Supported authentication

- AWS Credential

## Prerequisites

The following is required before connecting to Amazon Athena in DataRobot:

- AWS account
- Athena managed policies attached to the AWS account

## Required parameters

The table below lists the minimum required fields to establish a connection with Amazon Athena:

| Required field | Description | Documentation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| address | The service endpoint used to connect to AWS.Example: athena.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:448 | AWS documentation |
| AwsRegion | Separate geographic areas that AWS uses to house its infrastructure.Example: us-east-1 | AWS documentation |
| S3OutputLocation | Specifies the path to your data in Amazon S3. | AWS documentation |

## Feature considerations

- Due to a limitation with the JDBC driver itself, the Existing Table tab is not available for Athena data connections. You must select SQL Query and enter a SQL query to retrieve data from Athena.
- DataRobot only supports serverless Amazon Athena.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Solution | Instructions |
| --- | --- | --- |
| When attempting to execute an operation in DataRobot, the firewall requests that you clear the IP address each time. | Add all allowed IPs for DataRobot. | See Allowed source IP addresses. If you've already added the allowed IPs, check the existing IPs for completeness. |
