    If you are trying to connect from a SnapLogic Cloudplex, or even a Groundplex running in your own domain, you may need to whitelist the IP addresses of the Snaplex nodes on the RedShift configuration. If it is a Cloudplex, the details are listed in the Snaplex administration section of the documentation:
    Let us know if this helps.

      Thanks Craig,
      We’ve double checked our Whitelist IPs. Think we are ok there. We are looking into possible further firewall blocks from our Private VPC here?
