Testing an AWS Glue connection in new Glue console

0

Recently, I need to test my Glue Data Connection. As stated in the document, To test an AWS Glue connection

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/.
  2. In the navigation pane, under Legacy pages, choose Connections (legacy).
  3. Select the check box next to the desired connection, and then choose Test connection.
  4. In the Test connection dialog box, select a role or choose Create IAM role to go to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) console to create a new role. The role must have permissions on the data store.
  5. Choose Test connection.

Previously, I can see the legacy pages option when accessing the new console but now I see it nowhere. Could you tell me if there were any updates on this function on the new console (where I can do this function, or whether AWS has intention to re-introduce the function in the new console in any time soon) or could I access the Legacy pages (where to find it as of now)?

In us-east-1 region, I can still see the Connections (legacy) option under Legacy pages in the navigation pane. However, after choosing the Connections (legacy) option there is a message that "Legacy console experience for AWS Glue is being deprecated. AWS Glue is removing access to legacy pages on April 30, 2023.".

In the new console, Testing an AWS Glue Connection should be available through:

  • Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Glue console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/glue/
  • In the navigation pane, under Data Catalog, choose Connections
  • In the opened Connectors window, scroll down at the bottom until the Connections section
  • In Connections section, click Actions dropdown and then choose Test connection option

  • Thanks for answering. I'm using Region ap-southeast-1. When accessing in ap-southeast-1 I don't see the Legacy pages. Doing your instructions in the new console solves the problem.

  • Hi, I'm facing another problem with testing my data connections. When testing with JDBC connection type, it's working as normal. But I can't test connection with my MongoDB Server. Can I ask whether AWS does support MongoDB connection testing or not? Thanks in advance.
