Integrations
Postgres
Enable your agents to query a Postgres database
Overview
The Postgres integration enables your agents to query and analyze data in your PostgreSQL database. Perfect for data analysis, reporting, and extracting insights from your relational data while maintaining security and performance best practices.Features
- SQL Query Execution: Run any SQL query on your PostgreSQL database
- Performance Protection: Automatic 100-row limit to prevent performance issues
- Clean Results: Structured, easy-to-read query results
- Error Handling: Built-in handling for common SQL errors and issues
- Type Safety: Automatic data type conversion and validation
- Secure Connections: SSL support for encrypted data transmission
Prerequisites
- PostgreSQL database (version 9.4 or higher)
- Database user credentials with appropriate permissions
- Network access to your database server
- SSL configuration (if required by your security policies)
Setup Guide
1
Enable Postgres Integration
Navigate to Control Hub > Integrations and locate the Postgres card. Click “Connect” to begin setup.
2
Configure Connection
Provide your database connection details:
- Host: Your database server hostname or IP address
- Port: Database port number (default: 5432)
- Database: Name of the database to connect to
- Username: Database user for authentication
- Password: Password for the database user
- SSL Mode: SSL configuration (disable, allow, prefer, require, verify-ca, verify-full)
3
Test Connection
Click “Test Connection” to verify your configuration. The system will attempt to connect and run a simple test query.
Security Considerations
- Use read-only users when possible to prevent data modification
- Enable SSL encryption for secure data transmission
- Implement access controls to limit which tables agents can access
- Use connection pooling for production deployments
- Rotate credentials regularly and use strong passwords
- Monitor query activity for unusual or unauthorized access
- Limit network access using firewalls and IP restrictions
Troubleshooting
Connection Timeout
Connection Timeout
- Verify network connectivity to your database server
- Check firewall rules and security groups
- Confirm the PostgreSQL server is running
- Validate the port configuration (default: 5432)
Authentication Failed
Authentication Failed
- Verify your username and password are correct
- Check that the database user has login permissions
- Ensure the database name exists and is accessible
- Validate SSL configuration matches server requirements
Query Execution Error
Query Execution Error
- Verify your SQL syntax is correct
- Check that you have permissions on the tables
- Confirm table and column names are spelled correctly
- Review query complexity and performance impact
