Known issues

Publication date	Defect number	Description
2017-05-29	DBX-4154	Inputs from table containing Non-ASCII characters are not indexed correctly by Splunk DB Connect. Workaround: User needs to set the JVM option as -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 manually.
2017-05-08	DBX-4124	The task server will not restart without restarting Splunk if the system Java is not supported. Restarting Splunk will restart the task server using the specified and supported local Java.
2017-05-15	DBX-4139	If the HEC setting is disabled, it will not be enabled automatically when you restart task server. You have to enable the HEC manually under Splunk settings.
2017-05-15	DBX-4081	Timezone override in props.conf is ignored. Workaround:The JVM option user.timezone needs to set to GMT. To set this option go to configuration>settings>JVM options, add following option -Duser.timezone=GMT
2017-05-15	DBX-4032	The migration scripts copies all the jar files under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin/libs of DB Connect 2 to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers of DB Connect 3 even some of them are not JDBC drivers.
2017-05-15	DBX-4024	The 'testQuery' setting in db_connection_types.conf is no longer working in DB Connect 3.
2017-04-16	DBX-4019	Events indexed by DB Connect 3.0.0 do not include the automatic time fields date_hour, date_minute, date_year, date_month, and date_mday. Additionally, props.conf overrides cannot be used to alter the indexed time. Workaround: Use calculated fields to extract those fields on search time: 1.In Splunk UI, go to Settings->Fields->Calculate fields->New 2.In the popup, we can configure based on sourcetype. For example, if we want to data_hour to be present, then we define the "Eval Expression" like: strftime(_time, "%H"), then give it a meaningful name. 3.Next time if we search against this sourcetype, fields will be added automatically.
2017-02-14	DBX-3841	DB Connect 3.0.0 does not support a new installation of Splunk Add-on for MySQL or Splunk Add-on for Nagios Core. Additionally, the template files included in Splunk Add-on for McAfee, Splunk Add-on for Oracle Database, and Splunk Add-on for Microsoft SQL will not work if copied into DB Connect 3.
