Network profiles

Network profiles keep your connection network settings - SSH, proxy, Kubernetes, and AWS SSM - in one place, so you can reuse them across connections instead of setting them up on each one.

There are two types of profiles:

  • Global - available in every project.
  • Local - available in one project only.

Manage profiles

You manage profiles on the Network profiles page. Open it for the scope you need:

  • Global profiles

    • Go to Window -> Preferences -> Connections -> Network profiles.

    • Pick <Global> in the Project dropdown.

  • Local profiles

    Info

    Alternatively, open Window -> Preferences -> Connections -> Network profiles and pick the project in the Project dropdown.

Create a profile

  1. In the left panel, click Create ().

  2. Enter a name for the profile and click OK.

    Important

    A local profile overrides a global one with the same name. If a project has a local profile named prod, the connection uses the local prod and ignores the global one.

  3. Configure the profile's network options:

  4. Click Apply and close.

Copy a profile

Copy a profile to reuse its settings as a starting point.

  1. Select the profile you want to copy.
  2. Click Copy ().
  3. Rename the copy and adjust its network options.
  4. Click Apply and close.

Delete a profile

  1. Select the profile you want to remove.
  2. Click Delete ().
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Important

You can't delete a local profile that's still used by a connection. DBeaver lists the connections that use it, so you can reassign them first. You can delete a global profile even when a connection uses it. When you delete it, the corresponding network configuration is removed from the connection.

Apply a profile to a connection

  1. Start creating a connection.
  2. In the toolbar, click No profiles.

  3. Select a profile from the dropdown.

    The dropdown lists global and local profiles together. An icon marks each one's scope:

    • global profile
    • local profile

    Info

    The connection uses every network setting from the profile.
