Date filed	Issue number	Description
2024-08-21	DBX-5855	Inputs page does not load Workaround: Upgrade to Splunk DB Connect `3.18.1` or higher.
2024-06-14	DBX-5845	An exception was thrown while dispatching the python script handler Workaround: Delete the file `splunk_sdk-1.5.0-py2.7.egg` in `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/bin` Please wait for a patch to be released soon.
2024-06-11	DBX-5843	The connection string is invalid. Connection strings must start with: jdbc:mongodb// Workaround: This error only occurs when the JDBC driver was unable to establish a connection to the database. Driver Manager then tries to use other drivers and in the end the JDBC driver for MongoDB throws an exception which is shown as the last one. To get the error message corresponding to the expected driver, you will need to disable the Splunk DBX Add-on for MongoDB JDBC. Please wait for a patch to be released soon.
2024-06-11	DBX-5844, DBX-5861	Encrypted field resolver. An error occurred while decrypting the field! Workaround: It doesn't affect any functionality, but those logs are misleading. Please wait for a patch to be released soon.
