Known issues

Date filed	Issue number	Description
2018-11-21	DBX-4707	Update dropwizard dependency to fix CVE
2018-08-22	DBX-4638	Empty host on the connection and the input will fail the input
2018-08-22	DBX-4637	HEC error message is not logged
2018-07-16	DBX-4623	Compatibility issue with splunk_app_db_connect 3.1.3 and TA-Proofpoint-TAP 1.3.117 keeps DBX from loading. Workaround: Remove or Downgrade TA-Proofpoint-TAP
2018-06-01	DBX-4616	Need to add extra backlash (escape) in GUI to be able to get literal backslash in query, but this breaks the query in the configuration file, preventing it from running after saving Workaround: Create query using GUI, then edit after in configuration file to remove extra backslash
2018-05-16	DBX-4612	Cron expression using both "day of month" and "day of week", isn't supported when used in "Execution Frequency" Workaround: Don't use combination of "day of month" and "day of week" field. In some cases you could just use the day of week for the scheduling, depending on where the data is coming from. Although this might not be applicable to all situations.
2018-04-18	DBX-4603	On Windows systems, hitting debug/refresh endpoint with DB Connect installed makes splunkweb not restart Workaround: Restart splunk through services.msc
2018-03-27	DBX-4589	java.io.IOException: Push back buffer is full Workaround: In some cases reducing the amount of data returned, by limiting the timeframe of returned events in the search will work
2018-03-13	DBX-4585	Output does not work if column's name contains special characters i.e. dot, space Workaround: Edit the conf file to wrap the field with the DB quote identifier such as back quote for MySQL or square brackets for SQL Server
2018-01-09	DBX-4527	dbxquery cannot start on Splunk Enterprise 7+ if users set a time zone in their preferences
2017-10-10	DBX-4454	Invalid rising column index value when non-indexable columns are skipped Workaround: Remove non-indexable columns from the query. All data that are binary data are non-indexable  such as the following SQL types: TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB, BINARY, VARBINARY, IMAGE, LOB. This list is not comprehensive because some databases define their own non-standard types. Cast the column to text format
2017-09-08	DBX-4436	dbxquery fails with an OutOfMemoryError when returning large data set i.e. GB of data
2017-07-19	DBX-4387	Splunk cannot be restarted via web interface, deployer or deployment server on Windows Workaround: Use the CLI or the services control panel (services.msc) to restart Splunk
2017-07-16	DBX-4382	Output is slow when upsert is enabled
2017-07-12	DBX-4377	File permission check returns false positive on Windows
2017-03-26	DBX-3985	Kerberos health check is not supported in windows
2016-12-14	DBX-3610	"TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE" and "TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE" can not be used in rising column input Workaround: Use cast/convert to convert the timestamp with timezone to a timestamp
2016-10-18	DBX-3309	dbxquery command returns misordered columns
