If you have a firewall or security group configured in front of the database, you may need add Neurelo IPs to the allowed list so that Neurelo can connect to the database. There are multiple IPs for the selected gateway, all of which need to be permitted in the firewall or security group configuration
To make sure that all the information has been correctly entered and the Neurelo IPs have been added to the allowlist, you can test the connection by clicking on "Test Connection", You will receive a pop up saying "Connection test in progress" and once the connection has been tested successfully, you receive a message "Connection test completed successfully".
Once the connection has been successfully tested, you can proceed to click on the "Submit" button. This will create a new data source for your project. You can always come back to this Data Source section to verify database details including the health check history.
