I'm using Terraform to create a DataStream that connects to a private MySQL instance in Cloud SQL. However, I'm encountering connection errors despite seemingly correct configurations.
My Terraform provisions the following resources:
I don't understand why it is not able connect MySQL server:

Here are some steps to troubleshoot the connection issues between Datastream and your private Cloud SQL MySQL instance:
1. Fundamentals: Network and Cloud SQL Setup
2. DataStream Configuration
3. Hands-on Testing
mysql-client
on the VM and try connecting: mysql -u your_username -p -h [Cloud SQL private IP]
telnet [Cloud SQL private IP] 3306
4. Deeper Checks
roles/cloudsql.client
).Additional Tips
terraform plan
to get a preview of your infrastructure changes before applying them.
The "connection refused" error from Google Cloud Datastream to your MySQL server (192.168.59.52) likely stems from one of these:
Troubleshooting Steps:
Verify Hostname Resolution:
nslookup xxxxxx.com
. The output should match your MySQL server's private IP (192.168.59.52).Check MySQL Server Accessibility:
bind-address
in your MySQL config file (my.cnf
or my.ini
).Test Direct Connectivity:
mysql -h xxxxxx.com -u your_username -p
to connect directly to the MySQL server using the hostname.Review Terraform Configuration:
google_datastream_connection_profile
resource, ensure the hostname
under mysql_profile
directly points to your MySQL server's hostname (not a Compute Engine instance unless it's specifically forwarding MySQL traffic).Example:
resource "google_datastream_connection_profile" "source_connection_profile" {
# ... other attributes ...
mysql_profile {
hostname = "your_mysql_server_hostname" # Use the actual MySQL hostname
# ... other attributes ...
}
}

If the issue persists:
Yes, you can use the same Cloud SQL Auth Proxy, for multiple Google Cloud Datastream instances.

Got it! Thank you.
I have created resources using Terraform for DataStream to MySQL private connectivity. Previously, I created a source connection profile and used an IP address instead of a hostname with same configuration. Here is an example:
But now I want to create it using a hostname instead of an IP address. I have written Terraform code for that; however, I'm facing issues while creating it using a hostname.
Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you for the guidance! I have another question: Can we use the same proxy for multiple DataStream's?
Yes, you can use the same Cloud SQL Auth Proxy, for multiple Google Cloud Datastream instances.
That's Great! Thank you.
