Redshift (Export)

Last updated:

|Edit this page

This app is currently unavailable while we develop a new export system. It will be back again soon!

Using the Redshift Export app requires either PostHog Cloud, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running version 1.30.0 or later.

Not running 1.30.0? Find out how to update your self-hosted PostHog deployment!

You'll also need access to a Redshift Cluster to export to.

Installation

  1. Create a Redshift Cluster
  2. Make sure PostHog can access your cluster

This might require a few things:

  1. Create a user with table creation privileges

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:

SQL
CREATE USER posthog WITH PASSWORD '123456yZ';
GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE your_database TO posthog;
  1. Add the connection details at the configuration step in PostHog
