Azure Private Link Connection Error
Issue
After an Enterprise plan is upgraded to a Business Critical plan, connections using Azure Private Link fail setup tests with the following error:
Connecting to host: Connection error <PrivateLink>
Environment
- All database connectors
- Connection method: Azure Private Link
Resolution
To resolve this issue:
- In Fivetran, go to your destination connection page.
- In the top right, click the more options menu, then select Edit connection.
- Update the Region to the region where your Azure Private Link exists.
- Click Save & Test.
Cause
Fivetran may automatically change the destination's processing region after a plan change to enforce the current plan's platform limitations.
Azure Private Link connections are region-scoped. If the Fivetran processing region no longer matches the region where the Private Link endpoint was created, connection's can't reach the endpoint and fail setup tests.
