Date filed	Issue number	Description
2023-05-26	DBX-5787	Inputs containing interval in a Non Standard cron expression cause failures Workaround: Splunk Modular Inputs only support Standard cron expressions, as DB Connect does. To fix the issue you can modify the cron expression for the affected Input in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/inputs.conf and $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf, then restart Splunk. You can also fix it by following the steps below: Disable the Input. Adjust Interval to be a Standard cron expression. Enable the Input.
2023-04-17	DBX-5788	Not allow to edit the description field in the Input configuration
2023-03-23	DBX-5766	Unable to write records java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out Workaround: Set dedicatedIoThreads = 8 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/inputs.conf Allows the HEC to process multiple requests simultaneously, must not be greater than the number of CPU cores. Set parallelIngestionPipelines = 2 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/server.conf Multiple pipeline sets increase forwarder throughput and allow the forwarder to process multiple inputs simultaneously. Set batch_upload_size = 500 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/db_inputs.conf Number of rows to be uploaded to HEC in one batch. Set maxHecContentLength = 5242880 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/local/dbx_settings.conf Maximum size of each batch when uploading it to the HEC. Note: A patch will be released with version 3.12.2.
2022-12-08	DBX-5789	Allow Inputs and Outputs names to contain dots characters
2022-11-30	DBX-5790	Database account get locked after password rotation
2022-10-19	DBX-5714	warning on startup for "Invalid key in stanza" for key "run_only_one" on Splunk 8.1.x Workaround: None needed, this option is for later splunk versions, but doesn't break anything on older ones, it's safe to ignore the warning.
