# Athena

## (Optional) Allow connection from Arcwise IP address

If you need to add a fixed IP address to your allowlist or network policy, please refer to our  [Dirección IP Fija de Arcwise](/espanol/configuracion-de-arcwise/conectar-el-almacen-de-datos/direccion-ip-fija-de-arcwise.md) page.

## Add Athena credentials in Arcwise

1. Log into the Arcwise Admin portal and [set up users/roles for your team first](/espanol/configuracion-de-arcwise/gestion-de-usuarios-y-roles.md).
2. Go to the “Connections” tab in the Arcwise admin panel (<https://admin.arcwise.app/#/warehouse_connections>)
3. Click on the “+ Create” button (top-right) and select "Athena" from the Warehouse Type dropdown.

### Information about required fields

1. **Name**
   * A user-friendly name used for display purposes in the Arcwise interface. Can be anything you want.
2. **AWS Access Key ID / Secret Access Key**
   * An access key ID / secret pair for the role that should run the Athena queries. The IAM role must have access to Athena and S3. <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html>
3. **Region**
   * The AWS region that Athena will run in (e.g. `us-west-2`)
4. **Catalog**
   * The catalog (normally this should just be the default: `awsdatacatalog`). <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/understanding-tables-databases-and-the-data-catalog.html>
5. **S3 Staging Directory**
   * Athena requires a S3 bucket path to store the results of queries. The access key / secret must have write access to this bucket. *NOTE: you may want to set up the bucket lifecycle to automatically purge old query results automatically. Arcwise doesn't require past query results to be accessible.*

### **Checking indexed tables/views**

Arcwise will automatically index your data catalog upon the initial connection; our index will also automatically refresh every day at midnight PST.

Go to the [Tables page](https://admin.arcwise.app/#/warehouse_entities) in the Arcwise panel to see the list of indexed tables / views.

To manually re-index tables, you can press the "Sync" button back on the [Connections page](https://admin.arcwise.app/#/warehouse_connections).
