Connect to your cluster using pgAdmin

Note

All of the parameters you need to connect can be found on the portal by selecting the name of your cluster on the Clusters page and then selecting the Connect tab.

The pgAdmin project allows you to inspect, monitor, manage, and query your cluster's databases from a desktop or web UI.

From the welcome page of pgAdmin, select Add New Server. You'll be prompted to configure the connection.

Enter BigAnimal Trial for the name (or use the name you gave to your cluster!), and then select Connection.

  1. Enter your cluster's hostname in the Host name/address field.
  2. Enter edb_admin in the Maintenance database field (this is the default database that'll be connected to by pgAdmin).
  3. Enter edb_admin in the Username field.
  4. Enter the password you provided when configuring your cluster in the Password field (you might want to save this for convenience while testing).

Select SSL tab and change SSL mode to Require.

Finally, select the Save button. pgAdmin tries to establish a connection to your database. When successful, it displays the dashboard along with the list of available databases on the left.
