If you’re trying to set up Cloud Intelligence Dashboards (CID) and run into an error with creating the CidAthenaDataSource, it’s usually because of a problem with the output bucket in Amazon S3. The error message indicates that the system can’t verify or create the bucket named “cid-sparkle-athena-results-980055403207.”
This often happens during deployment when you’re using the CID-CMD tool to set up QuickSight and Athena resources. The tool attempts to configure Athena to store query results in that specific S3 bucket, but it runs into permission issues.
To resolve this, start by checking your permissions. Make sure the IAM user or role you’re using has full access to create and use S3 buckets, especially for Athena. It’s important because without the right permissions, the setup won’t be able to create or access the bucket.
Next, see if the bucket “cid-sparkle-athena-results-980055403207” already exists. If it does, verify that your IAM role or user has permission to access it. Sometimes the bucket exists but is restricted, so you need the proper permissions to use it. If the bucket doesn’t exist, confirm that your permissions allow you to create new buckets.
It’s also crucial to have the right Athena permissions in your IAM policy. You need access to create and manage workgroups and set output locations.
If you’re using the CID-CMD tool, follow all the prompts carefully. When asked to choose a data source, select either an existing “CID-CMD-Athena” datasource—especially if you’ve set up similar dashboards before—or create a new one as needed.
Finally, when the tool asks you to confirm IAM policy updates, choose “yes” if it shows you a JSON code for policy changes. This step is important to ensure your account has the proper permissions.
By double-checking your IAM permissions and S3 bucket policies, you can make sure the deployment process has all the access it needs. Making these adjustments should help you successfully create the Athena output bucket and continue with your Cloud Intelligence Dashboard setup.
