pg-db-pgbouncer.test.svc.cluster.local/pgdb?sslmode=disable”

Hi @Satheesh_Kumar,

Welcome to our forums! Thank you for joining our community!

Are you installing our operator? Did you follow the steps outlined here: [Install with Helm - Percona Operator for PostgreSQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-operator-for-postgresql/helm.html#pre-requisites)

Thanks!
