@kapa.ai getting this when connecting with airbyte

Configuration check failed
Message: HikariPool-1 - Connection is not available, request timed out after 10002ms (total=0, active=0, idle=0, waiting=0)

This error means Airbyte’s connector couldn’t open any DB connections within HikariCP’s timeout window. All the similar cases in the knowledge we have are due to network / access issues between Airbyte and the database, not bad credentials. Examples: • RDS/MySQL: VPC or security group not allowing traffic from the Airbyte host. [MySQL troubleshooting; MySQL AWS post] • External Postgres: hostname/port not reachable or DB not accepting TCP connections. [External Postgres] • Airbyte’s own Postgres: service not reachable / connection refused. [abctl db issue; DNS / temporal] Because the sources don’t include your exact setup, I can’t say precisely which of these applies, but the pattern is the same. What to check next (from the docs and forum patterns): 1. Network reachability from the Airbyte host/container ◦ From the machine (or Kubernetes pod / Docker container) running Airbyte, try: ▪︎

telnet

db-host port or

nc -vz

db-host port ◦ If this fails, fix: ▪︎ Security groups / firewall rules / VPC routing (for RDS or other cloud DBs). [MySQL troubleshooting] ▪︎ IP allowlists on the DB side (ensure the Airbyte host IP is actually whitelisted). [MSSQL timeout; Bluehost MySQL] 2. If the DB is behind VPN / private network ◦ Ensure the Airbyte instance is actually on the VPN / private network and can reach the DB host (same as above). [Postgres + VPN] 3. Host / port / TLS configuration ◦ Double‑check host, port, and SSL/TLS options match what your DB expects (especially for RDS / managed MySQL or Postgres). [MySQL AWS connection; Postgres RDS] If you share: • Which connector (MySQL/Postgres/MSSQL/etc.), • Where the DB is hosted (RDS, on‑prem, VPN, etc.), • And whether Airbyte runs via Docker, Kubernetes, or Cloud, I can map these generic steps more concretely to your case based only on the available docs. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
