AWS QuickSight can't see Athena DB












1















I have a database in Athena, with an external table pointing to a directory in my S3 bucket. I can query the tables fine in Athena.



When I go to create a new data set in QuickSight, and I select Athena as my source, I don't see my database.



I have followed the instructions here;
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/managing-permissions.html



and here;
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/troubleshoot-connect-athena.html



I also updated the QuickSight S3 policy to ensure QuickSght could List, Read and Write, but still nothing.



enter image description here



Based on the AWS documentation I feel I should be seeing the DB, but clearly I am missing something?

          I had the same issue, after a moment realized that my athena tables are present in eu-west region and I am searching in us-east region in Quicksight.
          Please ensure you are searching in the same region where your tables are present.
